Chapter 207: A Promise of a Thousand Golds
Temporarily as the open space of the school field, the generals of the above levels are lining up, in accordance with the order of the army, the building, and the team are assembled in turn, the Hulin Army went north from the Panyu camp, and it took almost two months to arrive at the Yangtze River, and when they saw that they were about to return to their hometown, everyone was in a good mood.
It is not easy to come back all the way, from Panyu to Qujiang, most of the distance is to sail on the Qinshui by boat, because the Qinshui is flowing from north to south, and they are marching from south to north, so it is against the current.
Most of the boatmen who rowed the boats had thin yellow muscles, thin arms and legs, and the soldiers of the Hulin Army simply rowed by themselves, and after arriving at the Qujiang River, they went to Shixing by land, and then crossed the Dayu Ridge.
After arriving in Gancheng, he originally planned to take a boat down the river to Nanchang through Ganshui, but it coincided with a flash flood, and the current of Ganshui was turbulent and difficult to sail, so he had to wait for several days, and the Hulin army could not wait so long and continued to march on foot.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally ended the journey of 1,7800 miles, and arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, although on average, the daily marching speed of the Hulin army is more than 30 miles, which is about the same as that of ordinary troops, but this is not a plain march, and it is not easy to march at such a speed for nearly two months.
From last autumn to the north, nearly a year has passed, and I haven't seen my family for a long time.
Everyone knows that now that the situation has changed abruptly, Prime Minister Lieutenant Chi Dian tore his face and sent troops to attack Guanzhong and Shannan, so after returning to Xiyang, I am afraid that he will have to go out again after a few days of rest.
Many people have already brewed, and the important things after returning home must be explained immediately, so as not to make up their minds in the family, and then accompany the second elder to talk, accompany the children to have a good play, and finally seize the time and the daughter-in-law 'sleepy'!
Then hurry back to the camp and fight with the king of Xiyang!
"I don't know what the situation in Shannan is now..."
"Didn't you say that the enemy army attacked from all directions, and all of them were destroyed by the king? Hmph, when we are rested, follow the king to fight Dabie Mountain! ”
"Silence! The Lord is coming! ”
The gong sounded, and with the herald shouting, the team returned to calm, don't put Tian Zhengyue and several generals on the temporary wooden platform in front of the team, and after standing on the platform, there was no nonsense and directly turned to the topic:
"Today, our army has arrived at Huangkou and has entered the camp on time, and dinner will start in an hour, is there any problem!"
"Nope!"
"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, board the ship at the Huangkou Wharf, is there any problem!"
"Nope!"
"Good!" Tian Zhengyue shouted with confidence, and the generals below answered not much more, this is the characteristic of the Hulin Army, and anyone who speaks quietly on such an occasion will be laughed at as a "little lady".
"Fang Cai, Xu Mingfu of Xunyang County, has brought us two good news..."Tian Zhengyue continued to shout loudly, "The king has led the official army to attack the boundary of Yuzhou, occupy the hanging gourd, and save the fallen Son of Heaven!" ”
This is really good news, as soon as Tian Zhengyue's voice fell, the people in the audience applauded, which is also the characteristic of the Hulin Army, and the applause was used to express cheers.
The king of Xiyang actually fought back with his soldiers, not only occupied the Yuzhou Prefecture Hanging Gourd, but also saved the Son of Heaven in distress, which is great news!
Everyone present was very excited, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen is their coach, and he has been leading everyone to win the battle, so after hearing the news, no one thinks that there will be a problem, and they all think it is reasonable.
Xunyang County Shou Xu Shao is their old acquaintance, so the message conveyed will definitely not be wrong.
Tian Zhengyue stretched out his hands and pressed them falsely, signaling everyone to be quiet, and when the applause was over, he coughed dryly and continued: "There is another good news, everyone listen carefully!" ”
Seeing this, several generals behind him exchanged glances with some embarrassment, and then made a gesture of not squinting, Tian Zhengyue coughed dryly again, and began to announce the good news: "The king sent two orders one after another, and the general and other generals have carefully verified, and it is clear that it is written by the king himself..."
"The king has an order!"
Hearing these four words, the generals in the audience unanimously raised their heads and stood straight.
"After the whole army returns to Xiyang, the first battle will be put into storage, and after the handover, it will be disbanded on the spot, and go home to rest, and the holiday will be thirty days, counting from the next day when it arrives in Xiyang!"
Tian Zhengyue finished the order in one breath, and there was silence in the audience, many people looked at him with wide eyes, full of confused expressions, and everyone couldn't believe their ears at all.
Holiday? Thirty days?
No, no, no, it must be a three-day holiday, I must have heard it wrong!
Many people didn't come back to their senses, Tian Zhengyue saw this and repeated what Fang had just said, and now everyone boiled and raised their right arms one after another.
If you want to ask a question, you must raise your hand first, and you must be allowed to speak before you can speak, which is a rule in the Hulin Army.
Tian Zhengyue, who was standing on the stage, saw that almost everyone below raised their hands, sighed helplessly, and casually clicked someone: "What questions do you have?" ”
"General! Could it be that there is a traitor who dares to forge the king's orders?! ”
。。。。。。
"Thirty days off! What's long! Is there a traitor who dares to forge the king's orders! ”
"The enemy invaded the territory, and it was when we went back to defend against the enemy, so why did we have a holiday!"
"What are you going to do when you go home on vacation, are you waiting for the enemy soldiers to kill, and the family will be cut down!"
"Neck cut? It's the neck to be killed! ”
"It's all the same thing, what's the chief, could it be that you have a problem with your ears and misheard, and you listen to a three-day holiday as a thirty-day holiday?"
"There is something wrong with your ears, Lao Tzu has asked several times, that is, a thirty-day holiday!"
"I don't take a holiday, I want to fight, I want to follow the king to fight!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We don't want to take a vacation either! ”
"What yelling, yelling! Do you think Lao Tzu wants to take a holiday? This is the king's order, do you dare to listen to the king's order?! ”
"No, no, no, this can't... How can you take a thirty-day holiday..."
In the barracks, in the tents of various places, the soldiers quarreled around their chiefs, and only then did their team leaders and team deputies go to a meeting, and when they returned, they summoned their captains to a meeting, and finally brought back two shocking news:
The first news, the king of Xiyang has led his troops to fight Dabie Mountain, occupied the Yuzhou Prefecture Hanging Gourd, saved the son of heaven in distress, and Shannan turned from danger to safety.
Hearing the news, the soldiers cheered, the king of Xiyang is the commander of a hundred battles in their minds, it is natural to have such a record, and Shannan turns from danger to safety, which means that his family, fields, and houses will not be in danger.
Then there is the second news: the king of Xiyang has an order, and after the soldiers of the Hulin Army return to Xiyang, they will be disbanded on the spot and will have a holiday of 30 days from the next day.
When many soldiers heard the news, they could hardly believe their ears, but they only said that they were playing tricks on themselves, and from Panyu all the way north, the generals kept saying, saying that the situation in Shannan is now in crisis, and everyone hurries back to fight and repel the enemy army to protect the territory and the people.
Now you tell me that you will have a 30-day holiday when you go back! What if the enemy forces come over!
After many inquiries, the soldiers determined that they had received the same message, and then they immediately boiled, and there were countless people who asked for battle, expressed their determination, and did not want to take a holiday and rushed to the front immediately.
Everyone thinks that the king of Xiyang is now fighting bloodily in Yuzhou, but he ran home to rest for thirty days, what is this like!
Three days, as long as three days, most people can settle things at home, and then they can set off, go to the hanging gourd, and go to the king of Xiyang!
The whole barracks were in an uproar, and there was gradually a tendency to boil against the sky, and those who didn't understand saw it, and thought that this army was going to have a camp roar, so don't send Tian Zhengyue and other generals to inspect and do work in various armies and buildings, and seeing that the soldiers were emotional, they simply held an all-army meeting.
Tian Zhengyue, whose throat was already a little hoarse, together with several other generals, shouted loudly on the wooden platform with a big paper bullhorn:
"Don't worry, everyone, now the situation is under the control of the king, and the enemy army will not be able to threaten Shannan in a short time, everyone can rest assured!"
"The king said, since he promised to give everyone a holiday after returning from the expedition last year, he will definitely do what he says!"
"Everyone has learned the idiom, what is it? This is what the king often says! ”
