676 Reassuring the people
After arranging the soldiers who reported to each other, Gao Zhi talked with the soldiers and walked along the edge of the city wall of Wu'an County with Lu Lingqi.
The impact of the war has not completely disappeared.
The dilapidated houses are slowly being repaired, the fields are being trampled, there are still faint traces of burning towers, and the skeletons are being cleaned up, piled up like a mountain of foul-smelling bones...
All the elements converge into a tragic portrait.
"War... It's so ruthless and cruel! "Although it's not the first time I've seen it, I've never broken off my feelings.
Gao Zhi was silent, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and it would be unforgettable at a glance.
Walking on the path in the forest, you can faintly see the ruined walls of the castle in the distance, which are being rebuilt.
The six-foot-high city wall is completely made of earth, and the city gate building looks very simple. The entire city consists of only one outer wall with two gates.
Before the door closed, the soldiers gently raised their spears in their hands, and each soldier followed behind them, lined up like a dragon and commanded like an arm.
The city is also littered with damaged buildings and blood-stained streets.
In some places, the ashes are not extinguished, and there are still traces of sparks burning.
The air was stained with blood, and the roads were littered with bones.
Those Xiongnu armies have plundered for a living and will not produce.
Even the cities they captured would never be distressed and caring, they didn't know how to maintain order, like leeches, they wanted to suck the blood of cities dry.
Wu'an, this is a county town with a population of more than 1000, after the Xiongnu army pressed the border, walked away, died, put aside the army, now it is only embarrassing, more than 500 strong people.
More of the remaining county residents are either old people who are about to run in the ground, or skinny orphans who lost their parents in the battle.
Gao Zhi felt a pain in his heart, as if he was in a trance, and saw the misery of the so-called "Five Hu Chaohua" in history in the future, and his face became more and more indifferent.
At this time, a soldier stepped forward and asked, "General, I don't know what we should do with those captured Hun soldiers?" ”
A layer of gloom floated in Gao Zhi's gaze, but in this gray and desolate place, there was an extra layer of darkness.
"Pass the order, kill them all, a... Don't stay! ”
"No!" The soldiers obeyed the order, their swords fell, and the captured Hun soldiers did not feel anything, and their heads had already fallen.
The air seemed to overflow with a faint trace of blood, burning the surrounding air, forming a layer of blood in the void.
While the old people themselves looked at the corpse happily, they did not forget to cover the eyes and ears of the children, and there were constant wails, and the bloody atmosphere in the city seemed to be a little heavier.
"Don't worry, I promise you that one day, I will bring the Han army back, kill all those Hun dogs, and save them for you."
Gao Zhiping stretched out his hands and spread them, as if the lone hero of the ordinary people's favorite was straight, his spine was straight, his arrogant head never drooped, and he muttered and chanted under the gaze of everyone in Wu'an.
The previous battle was not only convinced by the local people, but also feared by the Hun army on the grassland.
Facing this great hero who finally helped them defend the territory and secure the territory, the eyes of these young and strong men and soldiers more or less flashed on his body.
...
After Gao Zhi's last speech, he also devoted himself to the training of the army, striving to be a qualified general, eating and living together, sleeping together at night, soaking with the soldiers every day, pointing out and arranging, and missing omissions.
It was also during this period of practice that Gao Zhi had a more comprehensive understanding of the command in the army.
After all, it takes a lot of practice to master it thoroughly.
A poem can best summarize his mood at this time: the paper is shallow, and he never knows that he has to do it.
Time flies like a white horse, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Gao Zhi and Xun You were discussing the establishment and momentum of the army.
"I see that these troops are full of energy, look at this momentum, but I don't know what kind of training method is used."
Gao Zhi grinned and smiled with satisfaction: "Speaking of which, there is no special way. Since they are soldiers, they naturally have a motivated heart, so they should start with their self-motivated heart to arouse the spirit of competition and competition, and then improve the momentum and morale during training. ”
Hearing this, Xun You nodded secretly.
In the past few days, he has been secretly observing every day.
Gao Zhi's strict management of the army and his role model are all qualities that he admires very much.
"General, General!"
A fast horse slackened, and soon approached the crowd.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, this... This is less... General Lu specially instructed us to search for and cook food, and I will send it to you. ”
"(⊙o⊙)..."Gao Zhi blinked his eyes, coughed lightly under the blazing eyes of Xun You on the other side, and pretended to calmly take the wooden basket in the soldier's hand.
At a glance, the food inside is not very delicious, but it can be regarded as hearty.
A large wooden basin of white rice porridge, two plates of pickles, and a few white and tender eggs that have been specially peeled and are still steaming.
"Tsk, it's really a special "care". ”
This sentence is extremely meaningful.
Gao Zhi didn't hear it, he didn't seem to perceive the deep meaning of these words, holding a bowl of white rice porridge and eating it slowly.
“... Poof..."The soldier almost burst out laughing, but with great perseverance, he held back.
After hurriedly packing up his belongings and quickly placing food for Gao Zhi, the weak-hearted soldier had already turned over and mounted his horse.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves was like lightning, and a puff of dust and smoke was scattered on the ground, and the people were gone.
Gao Zhi was speechless all the way, reflexively did it himself, and put two small plates on it, with a boiled egg and some pickles in it.
Gao Zhi was not in a hurry, turned around and poured himself a bowl of steaming white porridge, "Do you want to eat some?" ”
"Forget it, I'm not hungry, so I won't snatch the so-called love meal with you!" Xun You has also learned badly with Gao Zhi recently, and he rarely showed a smile, squeezed his eyebrows at Gao Zhi, and joked with a smile.
He is also very familiar with the relationship between Lu Lingqi and Gao Zhi!
It's just that Xun You was joking while talking about it, but his stomach suddenly screamed angrily, Xun You's face couldn't help but turn red, and he was speechless.
After a while, his complexion returned to normal, as if nothing happened, Xun You calmly took some pickles, accompanied by hot porridge, and ate them again.
