Chapter 768: The Field
After inspecting the second battalion of Baima Xiliang, Liu Yi's next target is Gao Lan's wind army, and then he will rush to Yecheng to meet with Zhao Yun, the battle of Yanzhou Yan army will be divided into two groups to carry out an east-west flank attack on the enemy, relatively speaking, the east group will gather more elites of the Yan army, the Beiping Army, the Liaodong Army, the Tiger Guard Army, the Wind Army and the Iron Cavalry Battalion total 380,000 horse infantry troops, and the West Group will have Yan Yun Army, the Yellow Shirt Army and Ma Chao's newly formed Chang'an Battalion cavalry army, there are also 140,000 horses, In Liu Yi's military career, it will be the largest use of force to date.
The West Group will be coached by Zhang Hu, assisted by Zhang Liao, Zhang Yan, Ma Chao and other generals, and the East Group will of course be Liu Yi himself as the head coach, and the ghost talent and poisoner will once again join forces with Er Xun and others! In addition to attacking Yanzhou, the East Group will also be tasked with clearing the entire territory of Qingzhou, as the first stage of the entire campaign, Liu Yi intends to let the third brother take charge alone, and in the future battle, the Yan army may face multi-front high-intensity operations at any time, which can be regarded as a rainy day!
While concentrating the elite of the whole army to deal with Cao Cao, Liu Yi will never forget to guard against Liu Xuande, although the two are still harmonious on the surface at this time, Liu Bei is also busy expanding his strength, but the affairs of the military family are unpredictable, not to mention that the combination of Zhuge and Lu Xun also makes Lang Sheng jealous! Xu Huang's Long Xiang Army, Ju Yi's Flame Army, Gan Ning's Flying Tiger Army and Yan Liang's Jizhou Battalion, a total of 150,000 horses, will be ready for battle! And the existence of Pang Tong and Xu Shu made Liu Yi feel a lot more at ease, thinking that with such strength and stability, Xuzhou, where Gan Ning is in charge, will not lose!
Originally, in the specific strategy, these 150,000 horses would not be used in the Yanzhou strategy, but after careful discussion, the generals of Xuzhou and the ministers put forward new opinions to Beiping, that is, Xu Huang, Longxiang's army, and Ju Yi's fire army participated in the first phase of the battle against Qingzhou, Xu Qing's two weeks were adjacent, even if Liu Bei had a change when Xu Huang Juyi led the army back to help, it was also within reach, of course, Liu Yi knew that there was Pang Shiyuan, who was not inferior to Guo Fengxiao, was in charge, and there was a great mystery here!
Therefore, going to Yecheng and the third brother has also become the focus of Liu Yi's trip, he will Zhao Yun as the Jizhou Assassin History, and Gan Ning will be the Xuzhou Assassin History, which has the meaning of pressing the burden on the two brothers, in the growth process of an excellent commander, the huge pressure is a strong driving force, and it will also be their transformation from a general to a handsome talent, with Liu Yi's understanding of these two righteous brothers, they have the quality of being handsome, and the key depends on how he guides them!
Leaving from the station of the second battalion of Baima Xiliang, Liu Yi was in a very comfortable mood on the way to the camp of the Gaolan Wind Army, not only because of Jizhou's proper response to the disaster, but also because of the quality and fighting spirit shown by the sergeants, and because of the almost endless golden yellow in front of him along the way, and the autumn harvest is about to be, this autumn harvest is of great significance to him!
Gold is golden yellow, and the same is true of fallen leaves, and the farmland is also full of this color, but it is no wonder that the ancients admired yellow so much, and then he was used to represent the majesty of the royal family, and in the late Han Dynasty, this yellow robe was not worn by anyone! Think about the so-called love action movies that circulated on the Internet in later generations, why are they also called Huang? Wouldn't it tarnish this noble color, uh, think crookedly, this obviously shouldn't be the thought at this time.
Liu Yi slowed down the pace of the hoofed swallow, and walked along the official road in a golden wave, with what he saw in front of him and the situation gathered from all over the country, after the autumn harvest, the grain of the subordinate states was enough for him to command the army to fight for two consecutive years, but in the two years without affecting the development of the states, with such ample time and strong military strength, Lang Sheng had full confidence that Cao Mengde would have no place to stand north of the Yangtze River! It is also the ultimate goal of this battle of Yanzhou! And at that time, half of the great cause of dominating the world will be completed, and throughout the thousands of years of history of China, at least in the era of cold weapons, the unification of the world will be from the North Pole and the south!
The happy mood made Liu Yifei dismount and come to the edge of the farmland next to the official road to carefully look at the abundant crops in the field, this move was purely casual, but the foot soldiers and cavalry who followed it stopped the march of the long queue almost at the same time as a sudden brake, and there was no confusion in it, and the Yan army could also see the excellent training of the Yan army in this small place. This time, the escort of King Yan has become the 5,000 cavalry of the second battalion of the white horse in Xiliang, and the king of Yan came to his station to inspect, of course, this responsibility can no longer be completed by Hao Zhao's cavalry battalion of the Liaodong Army.
Liu Yi's march did not disturb the work of the people of Jizhou, it is now the last stage before the autumn harvest, Lang Sheng will not do this senseless thing for the so-called safety and majesty, and the people have long been accustomed to the back and forth movement of the Yan army, in their eyes, the army under the command of King Yan is strictly disciplined, and will never cause any loss to the farmland, even if there is an accident, it will be immediately compensated. In the military regulations of the Yan army, once there is a conflict with the people, the punishment is extremely severe.
"Fellow, look at the good growth of this year's crops, this autumn harvest should be much stronger than last year!" It is precisely because of this that the people working in the fields do not care about the army marching on the official road, Liu Yi said to the middle-aged man who was still busy in front of him, although the prestige of King Yan in the people is extremely high, but there are no cameras and televisions in later generations at the end of the Han Dynasty, and there is no existence of the Internet, the impression of the people of Jizhou on the appearance of King Yan comes from the portrait, and there is a big gap between them.
"This military master has good eyesight, as long as there is no longer the kind of heavy rain that happened before, this year is expected to be 30% more than last year, which is enough to add a few winter clothes and thick quilts to the old lady." Seeing the young officer's kind face, the strong man showed a sincere smile on his face, and slowly walked to Liu Yi before he said, with a little pride and more expectation in his simple smile.
"What do you call the fellow, come, sit down and drink saliva." Liu Yi also greeted him very naturally, and sat on the ridge at will, very chatting with this cropper, Guan Hai Liu Liu and others next to him heard the words of King Yan and immediately poured water for him and the strong man, and several captains saw this and immediately ordered the whole army to rest in place, and the soldiers heard the order to sit in the shade on both sides of the official road or drink water or use some dry food, but there was no noise.
"The military master is polite, my name is Zhang Erniu, and I am a person from Zhangjia Village there." The strong man is obviously accustomed to the friendly and easy-going appearance of the Yan soldiers, and the military master in front of him is so approachable, he drank the water and thanked Guan Hai and wiped the corners of his mouth with the sleeves of his robe and then sat side by side with Liu Yi, during the heavy rain, many military masters in Jizhou came to help the villagers protect the farmland, Zhang Erniu also recognized Liu Yi's outfit, he even saw the handsome and extraordinary Thorn Shi Lord, he is also as kind as the military master in front of him, I heard that he is still the sworn brother of King Yan, Erniu has never seen such a handsome person in his life, and the daughters-in-law in the village are even more in a daze!
"Brother Erniu is Gui Geng this year, have you ever married a wife and had children?" Liu Yi asked casually, the kind of nature in his words is by no means fake, the experience of later generations allows him to treat all people in this era equally, and it has not changed much because of the improvement of status and power! And such equality is difficult to achieve, even if Liu Bei, who is known as benevolent, is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve Liu Yi's level, after all, the two have essential differences in concepts!
"I'm twenty-four years old after the New Year this year, the eldest is just five years old, and my daughter-in-law has added a kid to me in the year, my two younger brothers are in the Yanwang army with the military master, hey~~ Actually, I also think about it, but Captain Yang said, I am the eldest son in the family and the old lady can't join the army if you want to support me, otherwise it must be no worse than those two boys!" Liu Yi's equal attitude dispelled the last trace of concern in Zhang Erniu's heart because of the difference in status, and he talked more!
"Hehe, it is commendable to join the camp and serve the country with the army, but it is extremely difficult to be as diligent as Brother Erniu and filial to your mother, how about it, is there enough people in the field? Did the farm tools and livestock in the county ever be used with you? Liu Yi smiled slightly and asked again, only Gao Ran knew about the garrison of the Wind Army this time, and he did not spread it to the counties, counties and townships, and he should have gained a lot from Erniu!
"This military master is a learned person at first glance, and he is the same as those gentlemen in the army, and after I go back, I will let my kid study hard, that is the grace of King Yan! Jun Ye you are from a foreign country, the grandfathers here are very good to the villagers, just say that this year's harvest is also those gentlemen from the imperial city to give seeds and teach us the method of farming, the township not only has farm tools to plough cattle, when busy the military masters will come to help, my mother said that he has never seen such a good military master in his life, Yan Wang's soldiers are different, by the way, military master, you have a high surname, want to come to the family The child should be about the same age as my boy! Erniu listened to Liu Yi's words, and there was immediately a look of respect on his face, these rural people are extremely respectful of learned people, and the same is true when King Yan is mentioned twice in the words, and it can be seen that he is sincere.
"My surname is Su Qingcheng, and if you want to say that the child in the family, my eldest is seventeen." Liu Yi has heard a lot from Zhang Erniu's simple words, it seems that the policies formulated by Beiping have been well implemented in Jizhou, and it is natural to see Erniu ask his name and report the name of the future generations, which is also a precious memory in his heart in this life.
"Seventeen? Master Jun, are you Guigeng? Although Liu Yi grew a beard at this time, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, people in their twenties and beards abounded, Zhang Erniu found it hard to believe that the young officer in front of him could have a seventeen-year-old son, but looking at his face, Liu Yi did look like a twenty-year-old person!
"Su is Chinese New Year's Eve six today, and he happens to be one round older than Brother Erniu." With the gradual increase of age, people always hope that they can be young, even Liu Yi is no exception, seeing Zhang Erniu's surprised expression, he couldn't help but smile and said!
"Three, thirty-six? It doesn't look like ...... at all," Zhang Erniu was even more surprised.
The two chatted on the ridge for about half an hour, during which there were several other villagers who came to talk to them, Liu Yi's understanding of Jizhou administration was a little deeper, which was much more vivid than the words on the newspaper, and then saw that everyone still had farm work in his body, and he said goodbye to him, and did not forget to give everyone some dried meat!
Everyone thanked each other, they didn't know that it was Liu Yi, the king of Yan who admired them in this field, but he felt that this young military master was extraordinary, kind in words and approaching, but there was always an indescribable momentum in words and actions, so everyone was deeply impressed by today, and Zhang Erniu knew that today's person was Liu Yi, and his identity was no longer King Yan!
