Chapter 156: Harvest (8)
On March 10, the 14th year of Yuanhe, the Great Earthquake Pass.
At this time, the big earthquake pass has been basically completed, although the Longdi Mountain defense line has not been completed, but it has also been built six times, if you look at it from the air, you can find the entire Longdi Mountain defense line, like a huge semi-ring, the Longyong two states and the entire Guanzhong are protected in the semi-ring; And the core of this semi-ring is the Great Earthquake Pass.
The Great Earthquake Pass Barracks, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
The generals under the command of Yongwang Guo Qi, Hu Qiong, Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, Sun Guoqing, Li Wu, Chen Feng, Ma Ying, Wei Ying, Hou Ji, Liu Yanzong, Chen Shan, Jia Shen, Cheng Yong and others, stood on the left side of the big tent in military uniforms.
On the other side are the generals and colonies of the Western Army, Zhao Kui, the commander of the Western Army, Zhao Yun, the forward general, and some other generals.
As for Yongwang Guo Qi and Zhengrong General Zhao She, they sat on the handsome platform together, Yongwang Guo Qi was on the left, and Zhengrong General Zhao Shi was on the right.
"You've worked hard for the past month or so." Guo Qi stood up and said to everyone: "It stands to reason that such a big victory, we should celebrate it; However, according to the information received by this king, the war is not over;
Murong De, the right general of the Xirong Khanate, was gathering troops and horses in Jincheng at this time, and the specific number of troops gathered, this king does not know, but according to this king's estimate, it will only be more than Murong Chui when he was on the eastern expedition, and not less;
Therefore, the next battle is a key battle for our life and death, and this battle has only one principle, that is, to strictly defend it;
With the Great Earthquake Pass as the core, the remaining three passes and 27 villages must be flexible to meet the enemy, and each of your generals must have a lively brain, seize the advantageous fighter opportunity, and inflict heavy damage on the enemy;
Of course, you must also remember the principle of this king, you only need to take advantage of the war, and you are not allowed to suffer, and whoever dares to take the lives of the soldiers as child's play, this king can behead him. ”
"No! The last general (lowly) received the order. The generals on the left and right sides led the order together.
Regarding the military order of Yongwang Guo Qi, all the generals and colonies present, including Zhao Kui, the commander of the Western Army, were convinced; At this time, not only in the Yong army, but even in the Western army, Guo Qi, the king of Yong, had a very high reputation, and this prestige was not because of Guo Qi's prince, but because of the battles fought again and again.
After issuing the strict order, Guo Qi began to discuss with these generals and schools the specific deployment of the four passes and 27 villages, as well as the liaison, coordinated operations and logistics supply between the villages, as long as it was a problem that could be thought of before the war, Guo Qi and these generals all made plans.
Although the battlefield forms are ever-changing, and the generals need to deal with them flexibly, with these plans, there is a good reference object, and as long as the war situation changes slightly, the best course of action can be formulated as quickly as possible.
The whole battle meeting lasted for a day and a night, until the end of the early morning of the next day, when all the generals and colonels rested until dawn, and then they all left the Great Earthquake Pass and went to the passes and cottages where they were responsible for defense.
According to the arrangement of Yongwang Guo Qi, Tang Bi was responsible for guarding Huating Pass and its seven subordinate cottages, Zhuo Yidao was responsible for guarding Zhenyi Pass and its nine subordinate cottages, Sun Guoqing was responsible for guarding Zhenrong Pass and its six subordinates, and Hu Qiong was responsible for guarding Dazhen Pass and the five cottages around it.
As for Zhao She, the general of Zhengrong, Zhao Kui, the commander of the Western Army, and Zhao Yun, the forward general, they were incorporated into the reserve army by Guo Qi, and to put it bluntly, Guo Qi was still a little worried about them; Of course, Guo Qi was not afraid that they would defect to the enemy, but that they would have a disagreement with the generals of the Yongjun army on the battlefield, which would affect the overall operation and cause unnecessary losses.
Five miles south of the earthquake pass.
"Lord, don't send it, if you send it again, you will go to Zhenrong Pass." Sun Guoqing rode on a horse and said to Guo Qi, who was alongside him.
"National Day, to be honest, now the other passes are very relieved, and the only thing to worry about is your Zhenrong Pass." Guo Qi said with a worried face: "After all, the main body of the other passes has been basically completed, only Zhenrong Pass due to the lack of masonry and wood and the difficulty of construction, so far the city wall has only seen one zhang and five, which is far from the minimum standard of three zhang!"
So after you go back, you not only have to train and prepare for war, but also build passes, which is really difficult for you. ”
"What did the lord say?" Sun Guoqing said excitedly: "Since the lord handed over the Zhenrong Pass to the last general, it is a trust in the last general, please rest assured, as long as the right general is in the Zhenrong Pass, it will not be lost, unless the enemy steps on the corpse of the last general." ”
"Ha, ha, ha...... Well, that's what the king wants. Guo Qi said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry, this king has ordered Yiming to send craftsmen to assist you in repairing the city, and this king will also send people from other places to assist you." ”
"Thank you, the lord, the last general is gone, the lord cherishes it." Sun Guoqing rode on a horse and hugged Guo Qi with his fist.
"Take care ......"
Looking at Sun Guoqing, who was gradually moving away, Guo Qi said to Li Wu, who was following behind: "Let's go, let's go back to the city." ”
The Great Earthquake Pass was built on a mountain fork, and there was an unnamed river on the south side of the road, which was named Qingshui River by Guo Qi; The Great Earthquake Pass was the main traffic route of Longzhou from Qinzhou to the west, and it was also the bridgehead for the Yong army to attack Xirong again.
Due to the topography, the main city of the Great Earthquake Pass is not very big, only three miles in radius, the city wall is nine miles around, but there is a big camp on the north and south sides of the east of the Great Earthquake Pass, and there are three camps on the hill west of the main city at the same time, there are two on the mountain by the Qingshui River, there is one in the north, these three camps are not far from the Great Earthquake Pass, and they can be seen from afar in the camp, so that one pass and three villages echo each other from afar.
At night, Guo Qi's military tent was still lit with oil lamps, and a rush of footsteps came from outside the tent.
"Lord, Lord Ling is asking to see you outside the tent." Li Wu walked in and saluted Guo Qi.
"The king's god of wealth is here, so please come in quickly." Guo Qi joked.
"My lord, when you say that, it's really a pain in the face." Ling Jing said as he walked in: "Subordinate Ling Jing see the lord. ”
"It's the road, do it!" Guo Qi comforted Ling Jing and said, "The fifth son went to those places to eat." ”
Ling Jing was indeed tired, and it was not polite to hear Guo Qi say this, so he sat directly on the wooden pier on the side, and after Li Wu brought the food, Ling Jing directly stuffed it into the sea, ate a meatloaf into his stomach as quickly as possible, and then snatched the tea in Li Wu's hand and drank it in one go, without the slightest image ......of a civil official.
Looking at Ling Jing's way of eating, Guo Qi did not blame, but smiled happily.
After eating and drinking, Ling Jing took out a ledger from his arms and said, "Lord, this is all the baggage, livestock, and people that we have seized from Xirong this time, please preview it." ”
"This king won't look at it, just talk to this king in general."
"No! In this battle, our army rescued more than 100,000 households from Xirong, totaling 417,329 people; More than 160,000 stones of grain and grass were seized, more than 20 million taels of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were seized, more than 3 million cattle, sheep and livestock, and more than 170,000 horses were seized......
Listening to the number reported by Ling Jing, it sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is not a lot if you calculate it carefully, after all, this is plundered by the Yongjun army from the land of the six states, and on average, there are not many in each state.
