56. Pledge to go on the march
As the saying goes: Teachers are famous.
On the battlefield, the major events of the soldiers should be in harmony with the trend and the trend.
To put it simply, in ancient times, warfare emphasized a great righteousness, because the ancients often attacked and condemned the enemy by issuing edicts and war posts before sending troops to battle.
Unlike many modern situations, in this era, Confucianism is admired, reason and righteousness are advocated, and royal power is admired.
Therefore, sometimes, in those dynasties and generations, some rebellious rebel armies, when they display the banner of uprising, are prone to suffer a lot of resistance and embarrassment, from scholars and doctors to Li people and peddlers.
Of course, there are various reasons for this, but in the final analysis, the most important thing is that the teacher is unknown and unpopular.
Therefore, even if a plan has been made in their hearts, Yuan Shao and the other princes can't just rush to take their generals and soldiers and kill Huo Huo directly.
That's not called fighting, it's called fighting!
Of course, thinking about it in another way, we can also understand these practices of taking off our pants and farting as a fig leaf.
People, they all want to be faced~
As a result, the side that provokes a war always has to tell the world first how just, representing justice and benevolence, and how cruel and vicious the opponent is.
Then the side that responds to the battle has to find a way to "ask for advice" back.
At this time, a group of writers and writers who wrote gorgeous writings and wrote essays came into being.
Before the war, the two sides need to talk about it for a while, which is equivalent to making an advertisement, so that the grassroots people know their "good intentions".
Therefore, before implementing the plan, everyone also needs to cooperate to create a "big show".
The background of the stage had been set up, and out of consideration, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had already made preparations for the more than a month of waiting for the princes to come to the alliance.
They made people formally build a point of the platform, the platform is more than four zhang high, divided into three layers, the inside is rammed with loess, the bluestone slab is paved outside, the five-color flag is planted all around, among them, a three-zhang high, the flagpole with a thick bowl mouth, a dark green Yuanzi flag flutters in the wind, so not majestic!
Now, this has become their "show"... Ahem, swearing!
"Although Shao is not talented, he is promoted as the leader of the alliance, and he will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Obey it and do not transgress it. ”
Yuan Shao, who straightened his clothes and was surrounded by the generals who came to the stage, stepped steadily on the steps of the high platform, and shouted at the same time.
"Obey the military order, we will see the alliance leader! From now on, obey the order and fight against the national thieves! All the princes and generals bowed to Yuan Shao, who was standing in the middle, and saluted.
In front of the three armies, he officially recognized his status as the co-master.
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, dressed himself and wore a sword, and continued to rise, standing at the top of the high platform, burning incense and worshipping again.
He read aloud the draft of the Covenant prepared by his advisers: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control. The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”
I have to say that Yuan Shao still has a lot of stage temperament, and after a crusade draft, he is actually quite impressive and has a correct tone!
The princes also cooperated in the first place, either because of Yuan Shao's generosity when he read the covenant, or because of the situation forced him to be hypocritical.
Anyway, Gao Zhi looked at the past below, and the princes on the stage all had expressions of tears and emotion.
Affectation... Hypocrisy...
pursed his lips, Gao Zhi, who witnessed the influence of TV and movies in later generations, expressed his boring and boring acting skills for such "inferior" acting skills, and was bored in a daze below...
The content is still relatively cumbersome.
After the oath process, there is the killing of the green cow and the sacrifice of the white horse.
The princes, led by Yuan Shao, stepped forward in turn, smeared blood on their cheeks, and made an alliance with blood.
Immediately followed by the main generals in the various armies, who also stepped forward to shed blood, and the ceremony was very grand.
As for Gao Zhi, who failed to be ranked, he could only continue to be in a daze, but his heart was becoming more and more boring.
MMP, how long are you going to sit?
Gao Zhi rolled his eyes.
It's okay for a while, but it's uncomfortable to sit for a long time, and Gao Zhi, who is uneasy to sit still, twists his body at the same time, and complains in his heart.
Battlefield warfare should be fast, simple, and clear, and only in this way can we better deal with those complicated military situations and combat situations.
Now that Yuan Shao has done this, it looks quite spectacular, but it is not helpful at all for the march and battle.
Obviously, you can pierce the enemy's heart with a sword, you have to play a few sword flowers first, pose a pose, and when your posture is perfect, you don't know who the dead are......
However, if you think about it, in history, this guy who can postpone the military for his son doesn't seem to be so difficult to accept?
Pouting, Gao Zhi looked to the side.
It's just that what makes him even more speechless is that when he turned his head over, he saw Liu Bei looking at the princes on the high platform with envy, and his eyes were full of yearning.
“...”
so? Could it be that it's not that they have aesthetic problems, but that I can't get a point?
It's heavens!
Gao Zhi waved his forehead on the armrest, and asked the sky speechlessly.
However, the silent things will not change because of one sentence.
This sitting, let him from early morning until noon, it is over!
Following the princes who had finally finished their work, Gao Zhi and many large armies, with hungry bellies, rushed to Bishui Pass one after another, and each set up camp in the village, connecting more than 200 miles.
Seeing that they had successfully arrived, the princes relaxed a little, and noisily proposed to Cao Cao and others to slaughter cattle and horses, assemble the princes, and discuss the strategy of marching at the same time.
As lower-level soldiers, Gao Zhi and them are also fortunate to have a full meal today.
Of course, in terms of the quality of the food, there are still differences, huh,... Somewhat... Ahem, the difference is relatively big.
Ordinary soldiers, such as Bai Ma Yicong, are okay, and they can get a big bowl of broth and a few buns.
The rest of the ordinary soldiers, at most, were divided into a bowl of meat foam soup and two pieces of steamed buns.
The princes, on the other hand, gathered in their tents to prepare for the banquet before the battle.
The bonfire in the big tent was full of fat pigs, roast sheep, and wine from the big altar on the side.
There are special soldiers under the tent to cut the barbecue for everyone, and then put it in the tray, and even the knife to cut the meat is presented, this heroic way of eating, and then set off the iron-blooded atmosphere in the barracks, even if the weak person arrives here, he will become generous and intense.
After the feast of the three armies, it was the turn to get to business.
The princes surrounded Yuan Shao, removed the food, raised the tent and sat down, and the two rows sat down in a row according to the year of the title.
In addition to the established vanguard officer Sun Jian, they also need to arrange a few other soldiers and horses.
At this time, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, which can be described as a spring breeze, and while accepting everyone's congratulations, he began to think about the arrangements for the princes and the deployment of troops and horses.
