Chapter 231: Preparing for War
Obviously, Tu San didn't know about this secret, otherwise he wouldn't have nodded happily.
The owner of the horse village touched his chin, very curious.
It's not that I'm curious if the third disciple will regret it.
A spit and a nail, even if the disciples are distressed and reluctant later, but if they can't say this, they won't take it back.
What is curious is whether Deng Jian has any guesses.
After all, Quyang County is adjacent to Lingshui County, and Deng Jian is the head snake in Quyang.
"I can't say what I heard, but I didn't believe it!"
The owner of the horse village thought about it and came to a conclusion.
Deng Jian is rebellious, he only loves martial arts, and he is too troublesome to pay attention to other things.
This time I took the initiative to mention the ownership of Lingshui County, which is abnormal.
β¦β¦
Chushan is eighteen miles away from Chuzhou City, and the large army marched at night without stopping, and arrived after walking for an hour.
Wang Duwei had already sent someone back to the city first and informed the governor on behalf of the governor.
Whether it is Huo Bao, the "young master", or the "sixth master", the master of Ma Zhai, no one can ignore it.
If it weren't for the fact that the direction of the enemy outside the vanguard was unknown, Chuzhou City still needed to leave people in charge, and Dai Zhizhou should also go to Chushan.
This Daizhizhou, the former Chaoxian County Commander Bifu, is in his fifties this year.
With Zhizhou's welcome, there is also a thin old monk, who is the chief inspector of the Chuzhou army.
The owner of the horse village did not look surprised, but his expression was a little sneering.
Although everyone had only seen it in Quyang two days ago, the owner of the horse village was still uncomfortable.
When Huo Wu invited the old monk to go out of the mountain, in addition to using the people's livelihood as an excuse, he also promised the people under the leaders of the Chuzhou army to follow the old monk to supervise.
When the Chuzhou army entered Jinling, the first middle-level general won by the old monk was a thousand households under the command of the master of Ma Zhai.
After the siege of the city, he plundered the city, killed and wounded several civilians, and raped two women.
Ma Gongzi, the main general, was also guilty of negligence and had a demerit.
The thousand households will atone for their sins, and the death penalty can be avoided, but it is inevitable that they will be living crimes, and they will be directly filled into the hard labor camp.
The old owner of the horse village was also disgraced, and he was worried when he saw the old monk.
The owner of the horse village is a person who understands and knows the shortcomings of the Chuzhou army.
The Chuzhou Army was formed in Black Python Mountain, and the earliest old men were bandits from several villages.
When you are a bandit, the power of a leader is limited, and all you can do is rob a dozen pedestrians.
To be long, thousands of households, hundreds of soldiers in hand, and if you let it go, it will be the people of a place.
If it is not restrained and the atmosphere of the Chuzhou army is ruined, then there is no need to confront other forces, and the Chuzhou army will be in chaos.
The owner of Ma Zhai felt that Huo Wu's invitation to the old monk to supervise was also a stroke of genius.
These arrogant generals, all of them have a relationship with people, and it is really difficult to start without an outsider to supervise them.
He will not be angry with the old monk, but he also hurts his face and does not like to see the old monk.
The old monk was obviously not so conscious, and when Zhizhou stepped forward to see it, he followed the salute to the master of Ma Zhai and Huo Bao: "I've seen the sixth master, I've seen the little treasure!" β
The horse creditor hurriedly held on and said, "Haha, I just said goodbye to the boss two days ago, what such a politeness!" β
Huo Bao also avoided it and said, "The boss doesn't have to be polite!" β
The owner of the horse village does not like to see the old monk, but the old monk loves to see the owner of the horse village very much.
After he spent a long time in the Chuzhou Army, he did not study the past of the Chuzhou Army.
The more I studied, the more I felt that the owner of the horse village was underestimated and was a wonderful person.
In the Chuzhou army, it seems that Deng Jian is brave and unparalleled, and Shui Jin, a rookie, is also brilliant, but the real foundation is the owner of the horse village who has been in charge of logistics and has no outstanding military achievements.
If there is no surrender of the owner of the horse village on the Black Python Mountain, there will be no integration of several villages.
If there was no rebellion of the owner of the horse village in the "Chuzhou Change", Huo Wu would not have successfully won Chuzhou.
seems to be silent, he is the No. 3 person in the Chuzhou Army, and he is actually Huo Wu's real henchman.
The old monk has been up and down for decades, even if he is upright, he is not without knowledge.
The Chuzhou army went smoothly all the way and occupied Jinling, which was the time when it was necessary to rectify military discipline.
If you really want to study it carefully, there are inappropriateness in the command of several generals.
But where to start the first shot, the old monk was also thoughtful.
Monk Feng must be discharged first, after all, he is a foreign general.
If they really want to cut him, whether they are justified or not, it seems that they were instructed by Huo Wu to deliberately weaken Monk Feng's team.
Deng Jian is also not suitable.
If you really want to investigate the inappropriateness of Deng Jian's subordinates, then Deng Jian, the leader, will punish or not?
The biggest mistake with Deng Jianbu is not his subordinates, but himself.
Du Laoba has been turned into a guard, and several of his subordinates have been cleaned up, so it is not appropriate to attack to the end at this time.
As for Huo Bao's child soldiers, there is nothing really going on, so there is nothing wrong outside.
The rest is under the command of the colt and the water.
The old monk chose the colt's side.
Because he knew that the owner of the horse village would not hold a grudge against this matter, and the horse foal would not appreciate it.
As for the water entering there, there are already signs of marriage with the Huo family, and it is obviously the person Huo Wu wants to help up, how can the old monk be so uninteresting.
It can only be said that after being an official for a long time, he has cultivated this exquisite heart, which has saved Huo Wu a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, it is really necessary to make drastic rectifications, and it cannot be said that it hurts the muscles and bones, and it is impossible to say that there will be disagreements between the upper and lower levels.
Liu Biao and Han Xishan, following the owner of Ma Zhai and others, also saw the demeanor of Chuzhou Zhizhou and this old monk.
When they saw Zhizhou, both of them couldn't help but look at Wang Duwei.
Compared with Wang Duwei, who has a smiling face, the five big and three thick, horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes of Xinzhizhou are more like martial arts.
There is also this old monk, dressed in eighty percent of the new sea green, with Buddhist beads hanging on his chest, and sandalwood fragrance on his body, but there is no scar on his bare head, and he is not a real monk.
When they saw the name and reaction of the owner of the horse village and Huo Bao, they were very strange in their hearts.
The two armies are adjacent to each other, Chuzhou has the intelligence of the Bozhou army, and the Bozhou army naturally also has the intelligence of the Chuzhou army.
Military generals, Deng Jian, Ma Zhai Lord, Du Laoba, Feng Monk, Shui Jin, and Chaohu Water Master Yu Dutong,
Civil officials, Master Lin and Song Lin, the official of Chuzhou.
Which old monk is in front of you?
The owner of Ma Zhai and Huo Bao were polite when they saw him, and called him "old man".
Wang Duwei, the head town of a state, laughed and was careful, like a primary school student who admitted his mistakes, and did not have the majesty of a parent official.
There was a mistake in the officialdom of Quyang, and under the nose of Wang Duwei, he hid him to the death, and in the final analysis, he was also negligent.
He did not dare to cry out for injustice, and honestly admitted his mistakes two days ago and cooperated with the various investigations of the monitoring team.
The old monk is a person who understands, and he knows that Wang Duwei was transferred to Hezhou before, and he has already unloaded the Quyang matter.
In addition to the recommendation of Quyang, which was inappropriate, there was no other collusion, so he truthfully reported to Jinling, and did not make a big deal of learning in Wang Duwei.
Wang Duwei was very grateful and sincerely respected this old monk.
Liu Biao and others were puzzled, and no one answered them.
The bangzi in the city knocked twice, and it was already the second watch.
The owner of the horse village brought Huo Bao forward and asked Mrs. Han, Liu and others to settle in the state capital.
Here in the state capital, many of the courtyards vacated by the generals are still empty.
Bi Zhizhou's wife and children are in his hometown, and there are only two nephews around him to serve and live.
The population of the Wang family is also thin, with a family of three.
Both families chose to be resettled in a side courtyard, leaving the courtyard where Huo Wu and several generals lived.
In this way, it will be better to settle the people.
Mrs. Han, Liu and other women and children were directly placed in the courtyard of Du Laoba, and Liu Biao, Han Xishan and the two families were placed in the old courtyard of Tang Guang.
Han Cheng's body was newly put into the coffin and also stopped here.
Huo Bao didn't go to the main courtyard, and directly followed the owner of the horse village to settle down.
Last night, the second watch set off from Lingshui County, and arrived in Chuzhou City today, twelve hours, like several years.
Everyone was exhausted and rested.
As for how Mrs. Han, who lost her son, and Liu Yuanniang, who lost her mother, were resentful, and how the Liu family, who was worried about her husband, tossed and turned, it was a personal matter.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, the owner of Ma Zhai took Huo Bao to see Bi Zhizhou and Wang Duwei, and directly instructed the two: "Prepare manpower, wait for Deng Ye's news, take over Lingshui County, and from now on, Chuzhou will prepare for war!" β
Zhizhou is a civil official, and he is puzzled for a while.
This guard against the Bozhou army?
So far, it seems that the two sides are quite friendly.
Otherwise, the third apprentice would not have temporarily settled his family in Chuzhou.
Wang Duwei saw the artillery and understood: "This is going to fight Yangzhou?" β
The master of the horse village nodded and said: "Jinling has begun to prepare for war, and the fifth master did not move Yangzhou before, because he cared about the local people and did not want to make a big move in Huainan...... Unexpectedly, it was treated as a soft persimmon! β
If Yangzhou dares to do something behind his back, he must learn a lesson, otherwise even if he votes for the Bozhou army on the surface, he will not be afraid in his heart.
Wang Duwei was ashamed: "Many places in Chuzhou have been exempted from agricultural taxes this year, and now they still have to rely on Hezhou for food...... Soldiers here, I have been recruited several times in the past six months, and there are not many dingkou left, and it is not appropriate to recruit again! The current 3,000 defenders in Chuzhou still have to clean up local security, and it is not appropriate to move lightly. β
Although he is a military attachΓ©, he is an old man in Chuzhou, who has helped Xinzhizhou in many things, and he also knows the details of Chuzhou Cang.
The Chuzhou army now governs three prefectures and two prefectures, and Chuzhou is the poorest and the weakest.
Not to mention that Deng Jian recruited troops in Quyang at the beginning, and more than 20,000 people were recruited in one county town, almost all the young and strong.
Within a few years, Quyang could not be recruited even by a single soldier.
is here in Yongyang, Ma Juzi and Lin Jin they levied a stubble back then, and then the small leader of the child soldiers went down to levy a stubble, and it was also to the point that there was no one to levy.
Binjiang County is near the river, there are many paddy fields, it is a large agricultural county in Chuzhou, and it must not waste the farmland and expropriate the farmers.
As for Lingshui County, Wang Duwei had no hope.
In March, the soldiers of Lingshui County were dispersed, and in addition to Quyang, the disaster was still the local area of Lingshui County.
Many people were killed, and many people ran away.
Xinzhizhou just came to Chuzhou these words, and he didn't know the details of Chuzhou, but Wang Duwei knew everything.
Ma Zhai said: "The main force to fight Yangzhou this time will be Jinling, Chuzhou and Hezhou are preparing for war, focusing on guard and defense, to prevent Yangzhou soldiers from dispersing in these two states!" β
