Chapter 427: Hercules Cup, Beihu Moves!

At the beginning of November, Guan Yu, under the cover of the family in the city, captured Bohai City.

After Liu De got the news, he directly appointed Guan Yu as the commander of Bohai County, consolidated the defense of Bohai City, and monitored the movements of Pinggu City.

And Liu De is still in a stalemate with Uncle Yang {actually Hua Zhan} next to the Datong River, and there were some small snowflakes in the sky a few days ago, and the army has been stationed in the camp, which is originally a group of rough men with excess energy, except for daily training, they usually become idle.

And Liu Dejun is a hodgepodge, there are everywhere, Dongfu, Dongyu, Daicheng, Leyang, Liaocheng, although they are all Yanzhou Army, but they actually can't look at each other.

Dongyu's soldiers are all raised in their heads, who called them Liu De's fathers and fellow villagers!

Liaocheng soldiers are not too many, Liu De's army has two Liaocheng troops, one is the Chinese army halberd soldiers, about half of the Dongyu people, most of the Liaocheng people.

The other is Yannan's headquarters soldiers and horses, which are basically from Liaocheng, such as Ma Yubo, the younger brother of Liu De's concubine Ma Yuxuan, and Zheng Zhongji and Zheng Shuyuan, the two sons of Zheng Kui, the head of the Zheng family, the largest family in Liaocheng.

What's more, Yan Nan has always led them, and Yan Nan's status is in the top five in the entire Liu Dejun, so the confidence is very hard, although Yan Nan has been transferred to the Chinese army, how can the old leader not take care of the old subordinates?

The Liaocheng soldiers clashed with other armies, and they all stuck to their necks and refused to let it go at all, which also made Yan Nan very sad.

Not to mention the Chinese army, it can be said that the Dongyu army and the Chinese army are basically one family, and the Liaocheng army can hang on the side, and in the eyes of the Chinese army and the Dongyu army, it can be regarded as half of its own people.

Although the foundation of the Dongfu Army is not hard, who called their master the elder brother Liu De!

Chen Qi's sister is the main house of the lord, who dares to mess with it?

The Daicheng Army and the Leyang Army are a bit miserable, the main general of the Leyang Army is Wang Kun, Wang Kun is a ranger in Yandi, because Dongyu was attacked by Hu RÊn Dà's army, and felt the prestige of Liu Shang, he single-handedly threw himself into Liu De's army, and then transferred to Shan Hongwei as a deputy general, and was promoted to captain by virtue of his military merits.

The military position is just a school captain, and his skills are average, and he is not Liu De's cronies, except for the leader of Leyang City, the status of the backer is not high, who do you say you bully if you don't bully?

This is still Wang Kun at least an old man in Yanzhou, and he is also familiar with Dongyu and a group of generals, so it is not too ugly.

Daicheng is because Zhang Hong died in battle, if Zhang Hong is here, plus Liu Gui who guards Liaocheng, no one is too presumptuous, mainly because Zhang Hong died in battle, Qi Jing, who replaced Zhang Hong as the main general, one is an outsider, and he is a general, plus the earliest before leading the Liaocheng Navy to attack the Yang army's camp and returned defeated...

For various reasons, some soldiers of other armies taunted the Liaocheng army from time to time, which made the Liaocheng army very cowardly, no matter what, the loser has no confidence.

Sometimes the ridicule is too much, and it is inevitable to fight, which makes Yan Nan, who replaces Liu De to deal with military affairs, dare to have a headache, so he can only play fifty boards each, and pull it back to let the main general educate and educate well.

If you want to make an example of chickens and monkeys, cut off a few heads, do you see if other generals are happy?

In the final analysis, although Yan Nan has a high status, he has not yet reached the ability to overwhelm other generals with a single word, which is unrealistic.

Unless Liu De orders!

But these are trivial things, and it is impossible for Yan Nan to tell Liu De about these things, doesn't it seem that Yan Nan is not good as a subordinate! I can't even do this little thing!

What's even worse is that Peng Yue and Wei Yan's soldiers are all soldiers of the Beiping family, relying on the level of Peng Yue and Wei Yan, it is of course easy to manage these thousands of people, but no matter how powerful the two of them are, they can't solve regional discrimination!

Beiping is the capital of Jizhou, and it is now the largest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty {Luodu is completely lonely}, so of course it is not eye-catching to Yanzhou, a remote border county, and these soldiers in Beiping are all looking upward.

The soldiers of Yanzhou are not accustomed to the stinky problems of these people in Beiping, and the defeated soldiers are still so sassy, if they dare to snort, they will kill you!

Therefore, it is common for the Beiping Army to fight with the Yanzhou Army, which is the main contradiction, and the internal contradiction in Yanzhou is a secondary contradiction, which makes Yanzhou's younger brothers Daicheng and Leyang also follow the Chinese Army and the Dongyu Army to wave their flags and shout.

And Yannan, as the central protector, although he is more fair and just, is inevitably still a little biased towards Yanzhou's side, which makes Peng Yue and Wei Yan a little dissatisfied, after all, he is the commander of the two armies, and his subordinates are bullied, if you don't avenge your subordinates, can the people under your subordinates obey you?

Peng Yue and Wei Yan directly broke into Yannan's big tent with their injured soldiers, wanting to get justice for their subordinates, and when they were making a lot of noise in the tent, Liu De opened the curtain and entered.

There was an instant silence in the tent.

Xu Shu followed behind Liu De and shook his head slightly, saying that the lord was angry, so don't make the lord angry.

"Yo! The atmosphere is very lively! ”

Liu De sat on the main seat with a smile and slapped the Chixiao Sword on the desk.

"Come, keep arguing! Let me hear it too! ”

"Lord, this is just a trivial matter, and the general will definitely take care of the matter!" Yan Nan's face turned a little ugly, and he assured Liu De.

"A trifle? I won't come again, I'm afraid this army is going to turn the sky upside down! ”

Liu De didn't get angry either, the army is a group of energetic men, there is no place to vent, of course there is nothing to do, the so-called regional discrimination is more of an excuse!

It's impossible for them to go into the city to find a place to make a difference, after all, it's still a war...

"Go! Call all the generals here! ”

Liu De said to Dian Wei beside him.

When the generals arrived, Liu De said his thoughts: "Since the soldiers are so energetic, let's find a way to let them vent well..."

Yan Nan was puzzled: "Lord, after all, you are now confronting the enemy army, if you practice too much, I'm afraid it's not good!" ”

"No!"

Of course, Liu De knew what Yan Nan meant, but in fact, the drill was only a part, but Liu De thought of another method.

"Of course, daily training is carried out normally, and it should not be excessive, and one of the ways I think of is to prepare for war at any time, and one of the ways I come up with is to carry out Keju competitions in the army!"

"Kemari Sai!?"

The generals were full of doubts.

Liu De took a bag in Xu Chu's hand, and everyone noticed that Xu Chu had been carrying a bag in his hand since he came in.

Liu De took out a spherical object from the bag and said to everyone: "This is Keju, which is kneaded with eight pieces of leather, and the inside is made of pig urine foam, which can make Keju have a certain elasticity." ”

"Each game is divided into two teams, with two goals, each team has eleven people, one is the goalkeeper, the two sides play against each other, and the one who kicks the ball into the opponent's goal the most wins!"

Liu De briefly said the rules, for this group of illiterate soldiers, it is useless to say too many rules, how simple and how to come, but the general rules must still be emphasized, just kick with your feet, no malicious injuries are allowed, and the general physical confrontation does not matter.

The military ball game in full swing began, and the energy of the soldiers was released instantly, and they were embarrassed to say that they had played football without breaking a few balls a day.

This also made Liu De have to ask Beiping to transfer a large number of urine bubbles as a supplement.

Liu De also specially held the first all-army event, and each army sent teams to compete for the championship of the Hercules Cup!

Why is it called the Hercules Cup, the generals don't quite understand, but since the lord is so determined, it is so decided, no two words!

There is no entertainment in this world, so a Keju competition has almost caused a boom in the whole army, basically anyone can kick twice, and the beautiful kick even provokes everyone to shout hello.

Regional discrimination still exists, but it has changed from a dry battle to a competition, which also makes Yan Nan breathe a sigh of relief.

When the Hercules Cup was held, in addition to the sentinels of the reconnaissance, almost the whole army gathered around to watch the game, which had to make Liu De expand the field, so he reluctantly placed the whole army, but in fact, the people behind basically couldn't see anything except the warm atmosphere.

Liu De and the generals also went to the arena to watch this Keju match, which would be beautiful if the Yang army on the other side launched an attack, but unfortunately they didn't.

Unexpectedly, it was not the powerful Chinese army that won the victory, nor the playful Beiping Army, but the Daicheng Army that had been acting as a small victim in the end, which surprised the whole army!

If anything...

Xiao Shoudai Chengjun finally raised his eyebrows, which made the Leyang Army, who was also Xiao Shou, very envious...

Liu De personally awarded the trophy to the Daicheng Army, and the first humble Hercules Cup finally turned into a sentence, but the atmosphere in the army was still very strong, and the other armies gritted their teeth and wanted to take back the Hercules Cup from the hands of the Daicheng Army.

Liu De thinks this is very good...

During this period, Qin Qiong finally rushed back from Xinxing, and Liu De appointed Qin Qiong as the temporary commander of the Liaocheng Army, and the former acting commander Li Dian was Qin Qiong's deputy general.

......

Huo Quzhi and Yang Ye's father and son finally arrived in Xinxing, and Bai Qi, as the coach, actually greeted him in person, but his face didn't show any joy, anger and sorrow.

Huo Quzhi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and saw this No. 1 general in Liu Dejun's army, and he was the city guard of Xinxing City, and the military and political affairs of a county were tightly held in Bai Qi's hands.

Yang Ye stepped forward and said to Bai Qi: "Qiqi Marshal, we not only brought 10,000 soldiers, but also brought enough winter clothes for 10,000 horses, and the rest of the winter clothes are still being made in Beiping, and they will be shipped in the near future..."

"That's great!"

Bai Qi said: "With this batch of winter clothes, the soldiers can also be warmer!" ”

After that, Bai Qi introduced everyone into the mansion, Huo Qubing was originally curious about where the acting king was, but Huo Qubing just thought about it and didn't dare to ask.

There is a huge map of Beizhou in the government, showing the topography of Beizhou, Bai Qi said to everyone: "This is a map of Beizhou that was collected by the new governor a long time ago, and we found it, and we also have a black eye on Beizhou..."

Bai Qi pointed to the border of Beizhou and said: "Ben Shuai has sent Wei Chi Gong to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to recover Yun County, Yun County was originally garrisoned with 5,000 defenders, all of whom were elite soldiers who had been in contact with the Hu people, without the emerging supplies, coupled with Ji Fengrun's order, these 5,000 defenders surrendered directly to our army!" ”

"Wei Chigong came to report the day before yesterday that traces of the Hu cavalry had been found in Yun County, but they were just some sentry agents, and Wei Chigong wanted to capture one or two people, but let them escape! But this is enough to make us vigilant, the lord is right, there must be a big move on the Hu people's side, but unfortunately we don't know too much..."

"The lord sent someone to tell him that if you want to hold Beizhou, you must stick to Yunxian, Chicheng, and Zhangbei counties, and now a certain has sent the deputy general Zhang Fang to lead 3,000 troops to defend Chicheng, but there is no general in Zhangbei County to lead the troops, can Captain Yang lead the troops there?"

Bai Qi acted vigorously and asked Yang Ye directly.

Yang Ye didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "Let the industry be driven by the handsome!" ”

Bai Qi handed a token to Yang Ye and instructed: "Zhang Beilin is close to the Great Wall, but the Great Wall has long been dilapidated, Captain Yang can send troops to repair the Great Wall a little, after all, with the Great Wall, you can prevent the attack of the Hu people in advance, you bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to go!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Yang Ye took the token and bowed.

Bai Qi looked at the young man who was appointed as a general by Liu De at a young age, compared with others, Huo Qubing almost gained Liu De's unprecedented favor, so Bai Qi now has a high look at Huo Quzhi, but in fact, Bai Qi is not clear about Huo Quzhi's ability...

"Huo Quai, Ben Shuai has an important task that can be assigned to you, which is also the reason why the lord strongly recommends it, I don't know if you dare? This task is almost dead and alive! Of course, you can refuse, you have the right to choose, and Ben Shuai will not force you. Bai Qi put his hands behind his back and said word by word to Huo Quai.

"Why don't you dare!"

Huo Quzhi puffed up his chest, he knew that Bai Qi was agitating the general, so what?

He has a strong sense of self-confidence!

This momentum made Bai Qi pause.

"Maybe the lord can recognize that this young man is his spirit!" Bai Qi said secretly.

Bai raised his palm and stroked it, and shouted: "Okay! ”

"He is worthy of being a hero out of a teenager!"

"This commander wants you to lead the cavalry to the grassland next spring and attack the Beihu Wangcheng, we don't know the situation in the south of the desert where Beihu is located, so this expedition is very difficult, if you get lost in the desert, that is, there is no return, so, you dare to go?"

"There is no place in this world where I can't go when I'm sick!"

"And how many soldiers do you want?" Bai Qi looked directly at Huo Quai.

"800 is enough!"

Bai Qiliang said for a long time: "Then eight hundred!" The whole army is yours to choose! You still have two months to prepare, and if I don't expect it bad, Beihu's soldiers and horses will attack Beizhou around the New Year, but I don't know where their attack will be? After all, Beizhou has already been riddled with holes! ”

"But if the enemy army attacks Xinxing County, Ben Shuai wants to make this group of Hulu look good!"

Beizhou is in the shape of a long strip, from Yanshan in the east, to Tianwei Mountain in the west, almost all of the entire state is exposed to the Hu people, there are five counties in Beizhou, although Xinxing County is not the capital of a state, but it is the richest county town in Beizhou, and the Hu people know this very well.

Therefore, with the greedy character of the Hu people, it is impossible to give up the new city.
