Chapter 141: The Heavenly Dao of Existence
A corpse, covered with a white cloth band, added a bit of solemnity.
The child soldiers looked straight at death before landing in the joy of victory.
This is death......
Walk out of Chuzhou and lie back......
What awaits them is a handful of loess.
There is no time when everyone is looking forward to the Buddha in the world and bliss in the West.
My comrade-in-arms...... My partner......
Let's go......
Marshal Liu and Tu San brought their subordinates to see them off.
Seeing this situation, it was also solemn.
These Chuzhou soldiers died in Bozhou, in aiding Bozhou.
How can Bozhou not be touched?
Lingshui did not move, and the heavy casualties in Anding County were due to self-preservation.
Compared with before, it seems that Huo Wu sent troops this time.
The 7,000 Chuzhou soldiers did not go north to make a false shot, but did their best.
In Jiashan County, if it weren't for General Yin and Shui Jin bringing 4,000 soldiers, and only relying on Marshal Liu and 16,000 people under the command of Tusan, how easy would it be to encircle and suppress 8,000 officers and soldiers?
Here in Anding County, everyone has long known from the mouth of the captured adjutant general that the officers and soldiers exterminated by the child soldiers are not only the 1,000 on the night of the siege, but also the 1,000 people before.
5,000 officers and soldiers, killed and wounded 2,000, only with 2,000 people!
How can such courage and such combat power not be admired?
Not to mention, the leader of this team is only a thirteen-year-old boy.
Anyone who had heard of the Scouts' losses in battle and had doubts about whether the reinforcements had really contributed was now ashamed.
Especially when he learned that in the 100-day ambush, 700 enemies were annihilated and only six people were killed, this kind of shame was even deeper.
Even the townsfolk behind the three disciples began to face this young man.
yes, how did they forget?
This is not only the son of Huo Wu and the nephew of the third apprentice, but also a young hero with ancestral divine power and bravery, no less than Shui Jin!
It's just that they didn't get along much before, and the Huo family's father and son have been avoiding it, and they have neglected this.
So, on Black Python Mountain, they took advantage?
In Quyang, it is also a big advantage?
Influenced by Jiang Ping before, the townsfolk who had grievances against the Huo family's father and son finally understood.
The Huo family's father and son never owe them anything.
Liu Biao had already prepared a few mule carts of grain, ten pigs, and two thousand taels of silver, and stepped forward and said: "I can't let the soldiers go hungry, I can't do much, these are with the soldiers...... There is not much silver, and General Huo Xiao is also asked to compensate for the deceased on behalf of a certain person. ”
Huo Bao was quite surprised, but he did not refuse Liu Biao's kindness, and said: "In the next generation, the soldiers have thanked General Liu!" ”
"See you soon!"
"See you soon!"
The two hugged their fists and said goodbye.
Huo Bao felt sorry for Marshal Liu in his heart.
Such a nephew who can fight a war and speak and do things is not better than those debt collectors?
but they went out to defend the city.
Huo Bao is not the only one who thinks like this?
Marshal Liu's family is close to the township party, and many people look at Liu Biao.
This kid knows how bad he is, and he's kind!
Liu Er is ruthless, his father can find out that Liu Da has his share, how can others not notice it?
The wife and sibling brother can be killed, who dares to follow him with confidence?
Jiang Ping stood behind the apprentices, looking at Liu Biao very calmly.
The third master has become a big trend, even if Marshal Liu starts to reuse Liu Biao, it will be too late.
Not to mention, there is still a Liu Er, and if he doesn't have to make his own move, he won't let Liu Biao come out.
He looked at Liu Er again.
Sure enough, Liu Er looked at his cousin with an unkind face.
Huo Bao stepped forward to say goodbye to Marshal Liu, and then looked at the third apprentice.
"Say hello to my brother-in-law on my behalf...... It's not easy for your father, be filial to your father......"
"Hmmm! Take care of your uncle! ”
Disciple San hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly: "Tell your father...... I will lead my men to fight Xuyi......"
Xuyi?
Chuzhou?
Not only Huo Bao was stunned, but Marshal Liu and others also showed surprise.
Huo Bao reacted, and the third disciple was not optimistic about Anding County.
Tusan smiled bitterly.
The brother-in-law who did not tear his face could tolerate the Bozhou army occupying Lingshui; Marshal Sun, who has torn his face, can tolerate Marshal Liu's men and horses continuing to occupy Anding County?
Doomed to expelled!
Lingshui ......
There are already four or five thousand soldiers in Lingshui, and there are 20,000 people in the lower ranks, how can they be raised?
The other counties in Chuzhou could not be touched, so they could only move to Chuzhou.
Huo Bao nodded, his heart heavy.
The third move also shows that he has no intention of competing with Huo Wu for Chuzhou.
Kechuzhou, close to Yangzhou.
If the three defeated Chuzhou, can the Chuzhou army still fight Yangzhou?
……
The 7,000 men and horses of the Chuzhou army gradually moved away.
Marshal Liu looked at Tu San and hesitated: "I really want to fight Xuyi...... Why don't you go to Lingshui to rest for a while, and then see, Chuzhou is next to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is stationed with tens of thousands of Huainan Road defenders......"
After being surrounded by officers and soldiers for more than half a month, Marshal Liu was already frightened.
The world is in chaos, but he also knows the weakness of his power and is powerless to face the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
If it weren't for the imperial court's order to recruit the Shandong army back this time, the battle situation in Bozhou would have been unpredictable.
"Father-in-law, let's not fight Chuzhou now, and when the Huai'an White Shirt Army stabilizes, we will move Chuzhou......
Huai'an is just north of Chuzhou, where the Maitreya sect burned incense and revolted and occupied the state capital.
"But the defenders of Huainan Province ......"
"Without the imperial edict, they dare not move lightly...... The imperial court has long believed in the local defenders, otherwise it would not have transferred troops from Shandong Province......"
Marshal Liu sighed, acquiescing to the plan of the third apprentice.
If not, what can it be?
Do you expect the third to fight Huo Wu?
Even if this brother-in-law and brother-in-law had a disagreement before, with this help, both parties have stepped up, and the relationship has eased.
Liu Er's eyes rolled, and he said, "The army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first...... Even if the brother-in-law wants to fight Chuzhou, he can't make the soldiers go hungry...... Marshal Huo of Chuzhou is not an outsider, why doesn't his brother-in-law borrow grain from Chuzhou? ”
Tu San looked at Liu Er fixedly, and did not answer directly.
Liu Er chuckled: "Isn't it that my brother-in-law is embarrassed to speak?" Feng Shuai, an outsider, is embarrassed to speak, is it difficult for his brother-in-law? ”
Obviously he was swept out of Chuzhou, so why did he put on a posture of flesh and blood?
Disgusting!
Partial life wants to uncover this skin!
The third disciple said a little helplessly: "The second brother is too ignorant of the world...... Chuzhou has been in drought for many years, and the people have fled the famine, and the food supply has long been insufficient, otherwise my uncle would not have transported grain from Bozhou to Lingshui......"
Liu Er was stunned, and noticed that the eyes of others were wrong.
Looking around, everyone nodded, obviously thinking that he "didn't know about the world".
Liu Er fell back in anger, and the more vicious his gaze became when he looked at the disciple San.
……
The Chuzhou army and his party, General Yin led 2,000 men and horses in front.
Huo Bao and Shui Jin led the people, and both of them were silent.
The two knew the "Huainan Policy", and naturally knew that fighting Yangzhou was the last and most important part of the Huainan strategy.
If the third disciple defeats Chuzhou, it is not the worst situation for the Chuzhou army, but it is definitely not good.
But there is no way to change this situation.
Because even if Hezhou is successfully defeated, Chuzhou is only resting in Luzhou for the time being, and it is not yet capable of fighting Yangzhou, which is guarded by a large army.
"The third master and Jiang Ping know Huainan Ce, they beat Hezhou, and if they can't say it, they will plan to fight Yangzhou......"
Yangzhou is prosperous, and if you play a Yangzhou, you will not be proud of Huainan Road, and you will not have to worry about military needs.
Huo Bao felt a little weird.
It seems that there really is an invisible master in this world, so let's not deviate too far from history.
Historically, Taizu did not fight Yangzhou, but ...... Jinling ......
Wu Guogong?
Where to call home?
Dad took Chuzhou instead of apprentice three, so do you have to take the road of apprentice three?
Huo Bao's spirit was shocked, and he said: "I still have to tell my father quickly and see how the elders respond!" ”
Shui Jin is not a complaining character, and responded: "I don't know what the situation of the war in Hezhou is, there should be news coming back soon!" ”
……
The distance from Anding County to Chuzhou Prefecture is one hundred and ten miles.
He marched 70 miles that day and rested in Chuzhou for one night.
The grain and pork sent by Liu Biao were not moved, and they were directly fooled with dry food for one night.
……
The next day, everyone went out at dawn and arrived at the Chuzhou Prefecture at noon.
As soon as the army arrived at the gate of the city, many people heard the movement and came out to see the excitement.
Hasn't the army been gone for five or six days?
Why did you come back?
When one mule cart after another entered the city with white flags, everyone was shocked.
"What's wrong?"
"Defeated?"
"How many people have died here?"
"Really defeated? So what should we do in Chuzhou? ”
The people began to panic and began to hear accurate information.
The Chuzhou soldiers won a great victory, helping the Bozhou army to maintain stability, and helping the Bozhou army to strangle and slaughter thousands of wolf soldiers who slaughtered the city.
Today, the Chuzhou soldiers returned, and instead of celebrating the merits, they sent the souls of the soldiers back first.
"Woo ......"
The common people, who have children and grandchildren as soldiers, can't help but start worrying.
The people who sent their relatives off a few days ago were even more panicked.
It was not until the state government posted a notice that the martyrs of the casualties would be compensated that the people knew the death toll.
Ninety-seven.
Before the announcement, the people listened to the literate people.
"Ninety-seven? Taken aback! ”
"yes, I thought I had to die!"
"What is this person? Back then, there were more congregants hanged by the 'meat wall' in Zhizhou than this! ”
"The proclamation said that we should pay for our parents, wives and children until our parents are 100 years old and our children are ...... adults."
"This is really an iron rice bowl......"
Years of famine and famine have numbed the people, and the number of casualties is not enough to shock, so they only talk about it.
The owner of the horse village got the news and personally greeted him, accompanied by Li Qianhu, the old monk, Song Erye and others.
Looking at the hearse, he was not in a good mood, but he understood that this was just the beginning.
As the Chuzhou army unfolds, there will only be more and more Chuzhou sons sent back.
The old monk is now the chief inspector of Chuzhou, thinking about the subsequent bereavement matters, and warned Huo Baodao: "Proper people need to be responsible for this matter, don't make the deceased uneasy!" ”
Huo Bao solemnly responded: "Don't worry, the old man, the bereavement is a big deal, and the younger generation will personally stare at this matter!" ”
The old monk nodded, and his face was a little more resolute.
As long as it is human, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.
The Huo family father and son have a heart of love for the people, but in the end, they are not three-headed and six-armed, the idea is good, but they also have to do it well.
He was originally a "dead" person, but now he is panting, what he can do for the people is to do a good job of this general inspector, and not to let Chuzhou go astray.
