Chapter 66: Recruiting Soldiers

Zhao Qian nodded with satisfaction, and said to Gan Lin: "Zishen, you cooperate with Han Mingyuan's expedition to summon the soldiers of Snapper, and tell them that this is the price to settle the dispute between the old and new people of Snapper. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The government will no longer follow up on the previous casualties, but they will not refuse to be conscripted. ”

Gan Lin surrendered his order, but Han Yi thought that Zhao Qian's move might not be a strategy to divert the tiger from the mountain, so that Gan Lin could smoothly take charge of the county's affairs. The special purpose of leaving 2,000 soldiers in Snapper is also to stabilize the hearts of the people of Snapper and thieves, indicating that the government will never have the heart to deal with them. Han Yi is a rin, although Zhao Qian is not familiar with military affairs and is not good at political affairs, he can be the guard of a county, and he also has some abilities, and he is not a real mediocre person.

Han Yi suddenly thought about something and asked, "Fu Jun, I don't know who is the main commander of this army of 10,000 people?" ”

Zhao Qian glanced at Han Yi strangely and said, "Since you are the vanguard, you naturally have Xu Duwei as the main general. ”

Han Yi secretly pouted, and there was another person who mixed credit. Han Yi said: "Fu Jun, Yi is not familiar with regular court military affairs, and he is very casual in fighting. Please also ask the prince to remind Xu Duwei not to interfere too much with me. Otherwise, I would be no different from a normal general. When the war is won, don't blame me. ”

Zhao Qian's hand stroking his beard stopped, and he nodded after a while: "Okay, I can save ......"

The 30,000 new people in Tuntian, in the territory of Haiyang, should actually be the people of the six counties near Haiyang. Most of the old, weak, sick and disabled died in the thieves, and all that remained was the labor of men and women. Half of them could be drafted into the army. Although there is no animal power to cultivate the fields, with the concerted efforts of many strong laborers, millet yellow can be seen everywhere in the territory of Haiyang.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is just around the corner, there have been no evil officials and bad people in the past few months, and the people of Xinhaiyang have lived a very stable and comfortable life during this time. It can be heard that he is going to fight again, or cross the county boundary to go to Nanyang County to fight, so he is naturally extremely unwilling. But under the persuasion and threats of Chang Ganlin, and with Han Yi as the main general, he reluctantly agreed.

There are six pavilions in the thirty villages of Haiyang, and there are 100 people in each village, and the six pavilions are exactly 3,000 people. These 3,000 people have basically been trained under Han Yi, and although the training is different, they are all warriors who know how to fight. It only takes a few days of re-rendezvous and practice, and then the army will be formed.

It's just that Han Yi only has five people available in his hands at this time, including Lu Ping, Cheng Qi, Du Lei, Zhou Ge, and Yin Li, who are respectively serving as military candidates of 500 people. Because there was no envoy, the old soldier of the original Zhaoling served as the commander of the tun, the team, the even, and the army, which was very inconvenient in command. Han Yi could only write a letter back to Zhaoling, and once again summoned the original subordinates to come to Chongyang to reunite. In order to balance the mentality of the Snappy people who trust themselves very much, half of the new subordinate military attaches were promoted through the election of the 3,000 Snappy people.

Within a few days, Zhaoling finally came, but there were only a hundred people led by Che Jing, Qiu Gong, Wang Dang, and Yu Hua. Cheng Qi was very dissatisfied when he saw it, and said: "The master wants to gather 200 people to come, but only half of them come, and these people are also unkind. There is also a high district, because the master treated him so kindly, he didn't come? It really doesn't make sense. ”

Qiu Gong explained on the side: "Old Man Che and Tian Brown are unwell, so they can't come. Gao District, he was afraid that the army might die, and his young son had nothing to rely on, so he didn't come. Others, after everyone has money to spare, they have lost their courage, and it doesn't matter if they come or not. ”

Cheng Qi exhaled a long sigh and said: "They don't come for their own reasons, although they don't like it, they can understand it." It's just that Deng Dang, who is Fubo, is angry, saying that the good wife is sick and can't come, this is ...... What kind of excuse is that? ”

Han Yi frowned, but stretched out again, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's okay, at least you can know who is righteous and can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility." Whoever has little righteousness in his heart should not have deep friendships. By the way, Su Gu didn't know why he didn't come? ”

Che Jing and the others looked at each other, and only said after a while: "We didn't inform him......"

Cheng Qi also pouted and said, "Master, that guy Su Gu is an unrighteous person, so come over and do something." ”

Han Yi shook his head and said, "You, Su Gu is not an unrighteous person, but a person with great benevolence and righteousness. They are very assertive and know what to do and what not to do. It's not like you, who only know a little loyalty. His accomplishments will surely be far higher than yours in the future. ”

Du Lei, who didn't want to be honest and honest on weekdays, spoke out and said: "Lord, Su Gu hurt the Ye family for the sake of his own great benevolence and righteousness, and I am afraid that no one will dare to use him from now on." No matter how great his ability is, he is afraid that he will not have a chance to play. In my opinion, it is better to be a human being than to know only a little loyalty. At least reliable. ”

Han Yi was stunned when he heard this, indeed, Su Gu betrayed the Ye family not for fame and fortune, but only for righteousness, although he kept his conscience, he also lost the trust of others. In the future, I am only afraid that I will be sad and tight, and no one will dare to use him anymore. Even if I use it, I'm afraid that I've been muttering in my heart, if I have violated the righteousness one day, will I be sold by Su Gu? In this way, only the saints dare to use him.

Han Yi shook his head, feeling that this was wrong. Although Su Gu turned his back on the Ye family because of righteousness, he also directly saved his own life. I have received the grace of his life, how can I alienate him because of this reason? Is he no longer a man of righteousness? Fellowship with Su Gu, although there are all kinds of disadvantages, but every time I see him, I can remind myself from time to time that I must not violate the righteousness of the world, isn't this also a good thing? Han Yi wrote a letter from himself and ordered someone to go to find Su Gu to come.

Han Yi arranged the officers at all levels again, Cheng Qi was violent and brave, he could be the front overseer, and Du Lei was the deputy. Zhou Ge is shrewd and resolute, and can be the left overseer, and Yin Li is the deputy. Che Jing is calm and decisive, and can be the right overseer, and the newly promoted Chu Hu, a native of Breamyang, is the deputy. Wang Dang is old and reliable, can be the rear overseer, Yu Hua is dexterous and brave and assertive, although he is young, he can be the deputy governor. Qiu Gong is good at trivial matters and can be a battalion officer in the baggage battalion, while Lu Ping is calm and shrewd and deputy. Only there is no one in the Central Protector Military Department, and Han Yi leads it himself.

The 3,100 army was divided into six teams and marched towards Pingyu in turn, and this time the army was no longer fighting as a volunteer, but as a soldier of Runan County, in order to go to Pingyu City to receive the equipment of the county soldiers in the county.

When I came to the temporary camp outside Pingyu City and saw the battalion full of county soldiers, I couldn't help but be stunned by the numbers on the cloth. 200 horses, 300 harnesses, 100 pairs of iron armor, 6,000 pairs of leather armor, 3,000 swords and shields, 2,000 spears, 1,000 spears, 1,000 longbows, 100,000 arrows, 600 one-armed crossbows, 50,000 crossbows, 500 heavy axes, 500 knives and saws, 800 tents, 1,000 horses, and 1,000 carts. There were also a lot of military materials, including five million coins, which shocked Han Yi into speechlessness for a while.

Han Yi asked: "These materials are all the materials of the three thousand troops under my command, will there be more?" ”

The chief of the arsenal said with a smile: "It's not much, it's the equipment and materials of the 3,000 army, one main and one pair, just right." Later, there are still 2,000 people who will come, and they will also ask the Han thief Cao Shi to receive it. But that's someone else's business, and it's none of my business. ”

The chief official of the arsenal said goodbye and left, and Han Yi and the others gasped, but the equipment of the county soldiers was so luxurious and complete. The army over there and the two armies of the north and south, or the Yulin army of the Han Emperor went on the expedition, how many materials did it take? It is no wonder that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, he only conquered the country with more than 100,000 troops several times, and the country was left without money, and nearly half of the population died. This time, a county in Runan sent 10,000 troops, but I am afraid that it will also have to empty out a small amount of family funds.

Fighting a large army is indeed a very expensive bad thing. It is no wonder that the ancients sighed that "soldiers are fierce and dangerous in battle", and there were warnings that "the major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must not be ignored".

It's good to have a lot of weapons available, but although there are many weapons, it's a worry that the soldiers won't use them. Han Yi had to stay outside Pingyu City for a few more days to practice, until Xu Duwei's 7,000 army and 6,000 people were gathered, and under Zhao Qian's impatient urging, Han Yi led the troops to officially start.

After walking for a few miles, I saw a fast horse coming from the northwest direction, and I saw that it was Su Gu, a native of Nanyang who came in response to the letter. At this time, Su Gu's long beard was messy, and his face was thin, no less than twenty pounds thinner than a few months ago. But a pair of eyes are bright and clear, very attentive.

Su Gu looked at Han Yi who was coming from afar, and asked expressionlessly, "You summoned me to help, aren't you afraid that I will turn my back on you in the future?" ”

Han Yi laughed and responded: "Although Yi is from a humble background, he is also a person who yearns for righteousness, and has the same concept of righteousness as you. As long as I am righteous, I am sure you will never turn your back on me. If I lose my righteousness one day, I should be abandoned by you, so why not be afraid? ”

Su Gu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll temporarily attach myself to help you and serve you." But I don't know what position you want to hold on to me? ”

Han Yi said: "Those who know the righteousness, how about leading the military affairs of the whole army and serving as the assistant of the military department in my middle army?" Su Gu nodded slightly in agreement and followed Han Yi into the army array.

Zhu Jun was very anxious to ask for troops, Zhao Qian was also anxious, Han Yi led the 5,000 army through Guanyang and Wufang two counties, crossed Woniu Mountain to Nanyang, and then passed through Wuyin, Duyang, and Bowang counties to Nanyang. The total journey was 600 miles and took 12 days. It took a month for Runan County to collect supplies, relieve Han Yi from entering Pingyu City, and then gather troops, equip drills and march troops. It's early October.

Soon after arriving in Nanyang, a southern army sentry scout cavalry discovered the Runan army. On the one hand, he returns to the main general, and on the other hand, he leads the army forward. After the army had marched more than ten miles, dozens of horsemen were seen hurrying to watch from afar.

When he saw the 3,000 Runan troops who were marching first, they still maintained a strict and meticulous queue during the march, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, "Yes, yes, the soldiers of Runan County are heroic, the array is rigorous, the armor is complete, and the momentum is high, and it is indeed the most powerful soldier in all counties in the world." Zhao Yanxin of Shu County is really a genius. ”
