Chapter 0892: Hu'er Prison Army
Facing his two pro-army commanders, Hu'er was just stunned for a moment, then recalled the stories that Lu Bu had told him, he thought for a moment, grabbed the hands of the two of them, held Lu Meng's hand with his left hand, grabbed Jiang Wei's hand with his right hand, and said seriously: "With the help of the two captains today, I will definitely be able to make a contribution and behead the head of the thief chief!" β
These words can be described as Top Gun, which makes people's blood boil when they hear it, but the two people in front of him were stunned, and Lu Meng slowly said: "However, we are responsible for guarding the prison army... You can't kill the Thief Chief..."
This is a little embarrassing, Hu'er then remembered that he was not a pioneer, according to Zhang Liao's character, he would definitely not let himself be a pioneer, he went to Saiwai this time, can he only watch others fight, and he will supervise the army in the rear? Suddenly, Hu'er lost interest, and his expression became a little gloomy, but fortunately, his two personal guards were not all muddy.
At least Jiang Wei is not, Zhang Liao sent the two of them here, and he also told him some things, he can understand the young prince in front of him very well, he is eager for fame, why not himself? Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, I heard that in the past, when Taizu was in the past, he rewarded his ministers, and at that time, there was Cao Hou's great military exploits, which should be the first, but Taizu let the Marquis who had never fought take the first credit." β
Hu'er was shocked, these days, Shijun has been teaching him to learn history, especially the history of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei told him, he has long heard Shijun say, in terms of history, Jiang Wei may not be as good as Hu'er, Hu'er was about to say that he knew, but he remembered the teachings of his father in the Houde Palace, at this moment, the young prince asked suspiciously: "Why is this?" β
"This is because the Marquis has been preparing grain and grass in the rear and dealing with internal affairs, if there is no Marquis, those generals will not be able to obtain such great credit, and now His Royal Highness, although he is not responsible for transporting grain and grass, but the position of supervising the army is to supervise the army and punish the thieves, which is also an extremely important position for the army, and today's generals are far less than as many as in the time of Taizu..."
"The people who transport grain and grass today are far from having the same talent as the Marquis..."
"And His Highness's position is more important than that of the Marquis, why can't His Highness follow the example of the Marquis? What about the first credit? β
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Lu Meng also nodded and said: "What he said is very reasonable, really talented people, no matter where they are, can shine brightly without being hidden, just like people like me... Even if he is in the position of being pro-army, he can also assist His Highness and win the first merit! β
Jiang Wei's face twitched, but he didn't speak again.
When Liu Qu heard this, he was really overjoyed, and hurriedly held the hands of the two people tightly, and said excitedly: "It's really my champion Hou Ye!" With the help of two people, why worry about no merit? Jiang Wei was shocked and hurriedly excused himself, but Lu Meng was the only one who nodded with a smile, Liu Qu pulled them into the tent, and the three of them sat down and greeted each other warmly.
In the words, I learned that Jiang Wei was born in military science, or the third person to win the full crown in military science, he is young, but he is deeply appreciated by everyone, of course, in Jiang Wei's words, he is still far inferior to his predecessors in the army, and there are still many places to learn, he is now learning from everyone, Liu Qu said: "Jun Dacai, in the southern army, there are few people who can compare." β
"Don't dare, my subordinates are dedicated to studying, and they don't have the courage of Captain Ma, the strategy of General Zhang, the wisdom of Captain Lu, and the courage of Captain Sun...", Jiang Wei is very humble, and he doesn't have the arrogance of young people, and when Hu'er asks him about everything in the army, he knows everything, he speaks endlessly, Hu'er is shocked, this is definitely a top talent in the army, he is extraordinarily humble, and he is a person who can be his confidant.
He often heard from his master that the more talented a person is, the more humble he will become.
After enthusiastically wooing Jiang Wei, he looked at the beard on the side, sure enough, this bearded man was not very old, surprisingly, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "I am much older than him, and I was also the second person to win the full crown in military science, and now, I am serving as General Zhang's deputy in the Southern Army, and everyone admires me very much." β
He and Jiang Wei are different, his words are full of boasting, and he can't say that he is arrogant, but it makes Hu'er look down on him a little, but when he began to correct Jiang Wei's mistakes in his words, and Jiang Wei asked him seriously, Hu'er also widened his eyes, didn't he say that the more humble he was, the greater his ability? This guy didn't feel right, listening carefully to their conversation, Hu'er felt that he had learned a lot.
Hu'er treated Lu Meng more kindly, and Hu'er asked, "I don't know why the general is so bearded?" The Han people love beards a lot, but there is also a punishment for shaving off their beards in the law, but LΓΌ Meng's beard is too long, and I feel that the entire Southern Army can't find a beautiful bearded man like him, LΓΌ Meng seems to recall, he said:
"Previously with the army in Guishan, I met the commander of the Northern Army, that person called Guan Yu, a beautiful bearded man, he called me over, after talking for a long time, I was impressed, I insisted that I looked like an old friend, very close to me, and also taught my own art of war, wanted me to go to the Northern Army, but the captain did not allow it, after that time, I also grew a long beard, I thought, I have a beard like his, probably more beautiful than him..."
The three of them chatted for a long time, and then talked about the next thing, Lu Meng had a lot of research on this aspect, and he said seriously: "Starting tomorrow, the prison army might as well take us to ask those soldiers to see if there is any military salary deducted, whether the food can be full, and whether there is any unwarranted bullying by the generals... First of all, the soldiers must identify with the prison army..."
The next day, Hu'er listened to Lu Meng's suggestion, took two people and ten pro-soldiers, and began to ask those soldiers in various camp tents, Jiang Wei picked up pen and ink, is to record these questions and answers, the soldiers saw the prince coming, their hearts were also afraid, but when they heard that the prince seemed to have the intention of supporting them, a few people also stepped forward and talked about some things that had been bullied.
For example, there is a military commander called Chen Xin, who played the prince, there was a military marquis who asked him for a thousand dollars, and said that if he couldn't give it, he didn't want to continue to move up, and when he learned this, Hu'er was furious, and immediately sent Jiang Wei to arrest the prince, and did not bother the prince to interrogate him personally, Lu Meng stepped forward and asked him harshly, and the military marquis was so frightened that he told his crime.
Hu'er looked at the man angrily and asked, "According to the law, what should be done?" β
"If you ask for a bribe in the army, you should be beheaded."
Hu'er didn't talk nonsense, suddenly pulled out his sword, and killed the military marquis kneeling on the ground with a sword, then looked at everyone, and said seriously: "If you don't serve as a supervisor, you want to be the master of all the soldiers, if there are problems in the army such as bullying and insulting the soldiers, deducting military salaries, etc., everyone can come to me, I would rather lose the position of the prison army, and I will make the decision for you, even if it is General Zhang, I can't disobey!" β
"Thank you, !! the Overseer"
Everyone shouted, just like that, for three consecutive days, Hu'er was strictly investigating these things in the army, Jiang Wei found out two more cases for him, one of which was a cook in charge of logistics, who was greedy for some meat in private, and the other was Zhang Liao's personal guard, but this person leaked the content of the discussion in the camp tent, and both of them were killed by Hu'er without mercy.
For a time, the soldiers loved this prison army very much, and the generals also strictly required the people around them to abide by the military law, and because Zhang Liao reprimanded the prince of the dynasty because of the military law, these new soldiers of the southern army had a very high morale for a while, and they did not have any fear of this war outside the Saiwai, and they were eager to try, so they prepared for three days, and suddenly, the southern army set off and left Luoyang with great fanfare.
The Son of Heaven did not come to see Hu'er leave, but the little girl of the Wang family, crying goodbye to Hu'er.
Looking at the little girl with tears on her face and standing on the side of the road shouting her name, Hu'er couldn't help but feel sad, but unfortunately, if you were a man, I would be able to worship you as a brother and go on the expedition together.
The southern army still left Ruoxian, on the way, Hu'er also learned a lot, such as the transportation of grain, as well as how the three armies advanced, formations, etc., he was particularly curious about these, Lu Meng and Jiang Wei also told one by one, he took the pro-army, constantly patrolling the army, if anyone fell behind, he would be severely punished, fortunately, although most of these people are new pawns, but the drill is still real, and there is no situation of falling behind.
In this way, out of the Sili area, the whole army once again sped up, and even, Zhang Liao took people out of the original road, but instead drilled into some mountains and forests, wanting to avoid everyone and not be discovered by others, it was obviously impossible, this is the belly area of the Han Dynasty, and there are many household registrations, however, Zhang Liao still gave an order, try not to alarm others.
Tens of thousands of troops, such a rapid march, but also to be secret, is not a simple matter, Hu'er looked at the crowd in a hurry, and gradually adapted to such a high-intensity march, seemed to understand something, however, he is also a member of this high-intensity march, in the formal march, he finally understood, that day Shijun took himself around, what was it for.
On the fifth day of the march, Hu'er's legs have been worn out, riding a horse for a long time, the soreness in his body is getting heavier and heavier, Hu'er gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, such a move made Lu Meng and Jiang Wei admire, after half a month, Hu'er found that he had become accustomed to such a high-intensity march, in just 15 days, he endured the fatigue and pain that he had never endured in his life.
Oh no, he's had the pain.
In November of the seventeenth year of Yankang, the southern army finally rushed to the territory of Hezhou, and at this moment, the news of the northern army also came from the northwest.
