Chapter 573: Galloping to the rescue
Ma Xianglin saw that his brother-in-law was about to go crazy, and he stopped Huang Han in front of his mother:
"The Marquis of Dongping can't do this, do you still remember that in the second year of Chongzhen, Zhao Shujiao, the governor of Zuodu, led four thousand elite cavalry to help, but because the men and horses were tired and had no provisions, they were refused to enter the Santun camp city, and finally encountered the siege of the Jiannu cavalry outside Zunhua City, and the whole army was annihilated?"
How could this be forgotten that Huang Han was a survivor of that battle, and he was inconvenient to explain anything at this time, so he pretended to have a sad face and generously stated:
"The military situation is as urgent as fire, how can I suffer from gains and losses at this time, rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to kill Jiannu, defend the Beijing Division, and rescue thousands of Han people, I also wish, and I will not hesitate to shroud the body of the horse leather for this."
Qin Liangyu was originally worried that his son-in-law, who had always pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, had different ambitions.
Seeing that he didn't care about his honor and safety when the Ming Dynasty faced the invasion of Jiannu, and resolutely prepared to run six hundred miles to rush to King Qin, the old lady burst into tears in an instant.
She cheered loudly: "True and virtuous son-in-law! Dongping Hou rest assured to go, with me and the white pole soldiers here, it is impossible for the land of Kuizhou to be plagued by rogues. ”
Ma Xianglin stomped his feet angrily, and he said: "Dongping Hou, fighting is not a hero, if you die in battle, what should the millions of people who follow you go, what about my sister's soon-to-be-born child?" ”
Huang Han laughed and said, "If I die on the battlefield due to bad luck, I hope my brother and mother-in-law will not be sad, because I died well." The soon-to-be-born child will stay in the Ma family from now on, recognizing his brother as his father-in-law, believing that this child will not have no future. ”
The sensationalism went too far, the two concubines Xu Miaoyan and Xu Miaoru suddenly cried, Zhang Fengyi couldn't help sobbing, Qin Liangyu desperately held back her grief and was speechless for a while.
Ma Xianglin was moved, and the mist began to fill his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your child is mine, if it is a son, he will definitely give him the official position of attacking the Qin family and the Ma family, why do you say such depressing words, Huang Han, you kid want to live, don't die in battle!" ”
Huang Han saw Ma Xianglin's true feelings, and heard his promise to give up his hereditary official position to his soon-to-be-born child, he felt warm in his heart, and strengthened his confidence in making the Qin family and the Ma family the uncrowned kings of Sichuan.
With Ma Xianglin, Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming, etc., Huang Han is really happy to become a family that loves each other! Later, the "Red Banner Army" provided weapons along the river to support the white pole soldiers to ensure that Sichuan was firmly entrenched, making the country of abundance a royal paradise.
The "Red Banner Army" moved quickly, and it didn't take long for people outside the palace to shout and neigh.
The officials of Kuizhou Mansion learned that the Son of Heaven had summoned, and the Marquis of Dongping was ready to set off immediately and lead the cavalry to gallop 3,000 miles to the capital of Jingshi Qinwang to see him off.
In order to gain time, Huang Han said heroically while walking out: "That is, from Ba Gorge through Wu Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang to Luoyang, Ben Jue also goes, you don't need to send it far, sit back and wait for the good news that the 'Red Flag Army' killed Jiannu and bleed the pestle!" ”
The banner guards Wei Sijing and Shi Yicheng have been given the task, and they will send their men to gallop out as soon as possible, and Han Zi of Shanhaiguan and Yang Danian of Ningyuan will get the order to lead their men and horses into battle within seven days, and they will concentrate their cavalry to wait for their men and horses in Juyong Pass.
The "Sifang Express" and Sang Yu and Angel Fang Jingcheng, who served as the vanguard, were responsible for coordinating the state capital along the way to arrange the camping camp that night, and someone would answer the arrangement every day to ensure that the cavalry could have more rest time to concentrate on the road.
Knowing that he was going to Shanxi to fight Jiannu, Sang Yu, who got the pioneer task, couldn't hide his excitement and excitement along the way, and laughed out loud many times.
Fang Jingcheng participated in the Southern Liaoning Campaign, was familiar with many generals of the "Red Banner Army", and knew this brave and warlike general Sang Yu.
The two of them worked together happily, and arranged the relay of the state capital along the way according to the marching plan in an orderly manner.
The magistrates along the way only had to arrange manpower and places to provide two or three thousand men and horses with one day's supplies and one night's accommodation, and there was basically no difficulty, and they knew that the "Red Banner Army" was urgently summoned to Jingqin by the Son of Heaven, and they did not dare to slack off.
I don't know how many people will starve to death in winter due to the drought in Henan, but there is no absolute bad thing, and the dry and cracked earth is conducive to the galloping of war horses.
In July, the days were long and the nights were short, and there was no wind, frost, snow and rain to hinder the rapid march, and Huang Han led the cavalry to run at a speed of 200 miles a day.
This was all due to the fact that supplies could be obtained along the way, and often Huang Han's men and horses came to the preset camp, and Sang Yu took advantage of the angel's convenience to coordinate with the magistrates to set up a marching tent or simply requisition a certain Zhuangzi.
They also hired people to steam the cooking cakes by hand, boil gruel, boil boiling water, and the cavalry soldiers fell asleep when they were full, and there were people who were responsible for feeding the horses and washing the horses.
After a year or two of changing battles, the cumulative journey is more than 10,000 miles, and the young soldiers around Huang Han can participate in galloping, and their riding skills are first-class, and even the riding skills of Xiucai Gong Huang Yi have reached the cavalry standard.
This is, of course, the result of their diligent practice and the guidance of Gu Kui and Yan Congyou.
Not only were there ten pro-soldiers in charge of protecting the head of the family, but there was also a guard of young musketeers of the General Banner, and these children were able to calmly fire their own guns and mini guns on galloping horses.
Now there are two of the pro-soldiers who are galloping around Huang Han who are very strange, that is, the dog king Ge Daben not only galloped with the team, but he actually carried "Ge Erben" on his back.
In the past year or so, Ge Daben has made many military exploits, has already had the rank of non-commissioned officer, and has been treated as a military attache equivalent to the seventh grade, and his soldiers have given him the nickname "Dog King".
Ge Daben, who loves dogs, knows dogs, and is good at dog training, doesn't mind being called "Dog King" by everyone.
Since the vast majority of the military dogs were infantry, they were about to turn north by sea by boat.
Ge Daben was reluctant to leave the side of the family, so he played thousands of miles on his back with "Ge Erben".
Gu Jixiang has reached the age of fifteen, has completely grown up, and is all-powerful with hot and cold weapons.
He also has one more skill, he knows how to train dogs, which is of course a new skill that he has learned with Ge Daben for more than a year.
The boy also carried his favorite military dog, "Ge Liuben", on his back, and galloped on the dusty official road.
It is inevitable that there will be accidents on the long-distance march, and there will be no less cavalry that has fallen behind, Huang Han does not need to wait for people to set off together, and the "Quartet Express" will organize to contain those who have fallen behind.
The stragglers continued on the road after reaching a total number, no longer requiring them to chase the main force, and they would get the next task after they arrived at Sun Liuzhuang, which was not too far from the Beijing division, and assembled.
Seven days later, when the men and horses led by Huang Han ran to Luoyang, Zheng Xiaowen, who got the news, had already arranged all the men and horses waiting for his brother-in-law.
The situation in Henan was unstable, Zheng Xiaowen had the intention to lead the people and horses, but King Qin could not go, so he arranged for Zheng Xuewu to lead half of the ironclad family with less than 200 cavalry to join the cavalry team of the "Red Banner Army".
