A scribe military attache with a resolute face in his forties nodded approvingly: "The assassins of the states and counties are too neglectful in military training, so that a great wave of rebellion can be set off by just a few horns. The soldiers of Runan County www.biquge.info are indeed elite. If it was more than ten years ago, when General Dou was there, the soldiers of Runan County could only be regarded as ordinary. ”

Everyone nodded yes again and again, and said: "All these years are the harm of the ten permanent servants, if there are no ten permanent servants, then the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves." Well, now that the Son of Heaven has granted amnesty to the world, the scourge of the party has ended, and the appearance of the righteous people and the dynasty has reappeared, and it will be able to return to the state of the strong man of the year. ”

There are different opinions and said: "The ten permanent servants have not been punished, how do you know that there will be no third party disaster?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were different, and they were speechless for a moment. One of them laughed and said, "Now is the time to fight the thief, but you have to discuss the major affairs of the DPRK and China. When the people heard this, they laughed, and when the reinforcements came, the moths and thieves could be broken, and everyone rode back to prepare for the convening of the military council.

Han Yi was guided to the southern city of Wancheng and set up camp. Looking around, I saw that Wancheng was surrounded by patchwork wooden fences and ditches, which surrounded the entire Wancheng. If it weren't for the guidance of the leader, Han Yi wouldn't have been able to tell where it was and what was the role of each?

Han Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly, there were many things to do in the march to Xiazhai, if it weren't for the veterans of the years, or the natural generals, who could be so comprehensive and not show the slightest flaw. Since he has been in the army for several months, he has only scratched the surface of military affairs. If he is in a different place with the Wancheng Yellow Turban, I am afraid that he is not Zhu Jun's opponent.

Han Yi pointed to a dirt mountain in the northwest corner and asked, "That earth mountain is a little higher than Wancheng, could it be that the army is going to attack Wancheng from there." ”

The usher said in an uncertain tone: "It should be! In order to build that dirt mountain, the army recruited more than 10,000 people nearby, and it took more than half a month to build a distance of twenty steps from Wancheng, and in another day or two, I am afraid that it will be level with the head of Wancheng. Then will it be the day of the general offensive. ”

Han Yi was still about to ask, but at this time, a rumored horse came to report, saying that the main general Zhu Jun and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xu Xuan and Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie were discussing in the tent, and specially invited Han Yi to set up camp and go to listen to the order. Han Yi saw that the camp was almost set up, compared to the other camps in the siege, the gap was very obvious, which could be said to be unsatisfactory. This is the difference between a regular official and a temporary official general.

Han Yi blushed and followed the leader and the passer to the main tent located in the northwest corner. Along the way, the path twisted and turned, back and forth, and almost turned my head unconscious. If the Yellow Turban Moth thief goes out of the city to attack the fortress, I am afraid that it will have the same effect.

Han Yi became more and more convinced of Zhu Jun's military ability, this is a normal famous general in the court. And himself, at best, is just a sudden. It's okay to charge and fight against the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, but once you fight with the court army, I'm afraid that you will be like the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, and you are not the opponent of most regular generals.

Han Yi came to a huge military tent, from the periphery, this military tent has a radius of 100 steps, with a giant tree as a pillar, which can accommodate 100 military discussions. Outside the tent, there were fifty guards with knives patrolling around, and a few of them were even staring at him with vigilant eyes, which made Han Yi shudder.

Not long after, a pro-general came out of the tent and shouted: "The lord will have an order, and I will invite Sima Han Yi of the Runan Zuojun to come in." ”

Han Yi hurriedly lowered his head and walked inside. In a hurry, he only had time to see more than ten generals sitting upright on both sides, and bowed down on one knee three steps away from the tent door, and shouted in a clear voice: "Sima Hanyi of Runan Zuojun meets the Marquis of Xixiang, the town thief Zhonglang General and the generals. ”

A scribe and military attache in the middle said resolutely: "You are Han Yi, the vanguard officer of the 3,000 army from Runan, why are you so young?" ”

Han Yi hurriedly responded: "Although Yi is young, his loyalty to the court is no less than that of the generals. Moreover, since the thieves' rebellion, most of the wars in Runan have been pioneered by Yi, and now from the conquest of Nanyang, it is naturally easy to be the vanguard of the army. ”

The scribe military attache praised: "Okay, I thought you were a son of a family in Runan, and you were temporarily appointed as the vanguard officer of the Runan County Army. You are also the vanguard officer of the army who doesn't want to quell the thieves in Runan, and it seems that you are a rare young hero in the world. Tomorrow's battle, I want to see your ability to attack the city, do you dare to take the first place? ”

Han Yi was angry for a while, and responded: "Why don't you dare to do this, tomorrow our department should be the first to ascend the army." ”

The scribe military attache was overjoyed, praised Han Yi's bravery as a young man, and he would definitely have a bright future in the future, and then began to introduce the generals in the account to Han Yi. There were too many people in the account, and Han Yi couldn't remember them for a while, only remembering a few people with higher official positions or obvious faces. It's just that there is an old acquaintance of Han Yi here, Bao Hong, who is staring at Han Yi with big eyes at this time.

There were four lieutenants under Zhu Jun's command, Bao Hong, who was one of them, and eight Sima from other departments, and there were two people who were with Bao Hong that day. There are also two captains and four military commanders, who are subordinates of Xu Xuan and Qin Jie. The others were civil and military officials in charge of baggage, and county magistrates from nearby counties, who were in charge of tens of thousands of people's affairs.

According to Zhu Jun's order, Han Yi will move the camp to the northwest corner tomorrow, attack the Wancheng city wall from the mound, cover the people and continue to build the soil, and when the base is level with the city, it is the time for Han Yi's whole army to attack.

After the end of the military discussion, Han Yi specially went to the mound to have a detailed look, the mound was built from a distance of one hundred and thirty steps from the city wall, two hundred steps wide, in a slope shape gradually upward, now there are still about twenty steps away from the city wall, the height is about six zhang, one zhang higher than the five-zhang high city wall.

Han Yi held a big shield on his head and actually inspected the hill under the rain of arrows from the moths and thieves in the city, estimating the actual earthwork needed and the true difficulty of continuing to fill the earth. The earthwork needs about 70,000 or 80,000 earthworks, and it may take 100,000 earthworks to be prepared, and there are more than 10,000 people, and the excavation can be completed in one or two days.

However, the successful transportation of earthwork to the mound under the rain of arrows of the thieves was a considerable task, and it was probably impossible to launch a formal general attack for four or five days.

It's just that Zhu Jun's request is urgent, and he needs to launch a general offensive tomorrow night or early the day after tomorrow, which is a bit difficult to do. After Han Yi returned to the camp, he talked about the actual difficulty, and the generals couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

At this time, Wang Dang spoke out and asked: "Zuojun Sima, isn't there anything on the mound to protect the people and our army?" ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "It's empty, there is nothing, and then we can only protect each other with shields." Fortunately, our army had 3,000 shields when they came, and they were able to protect themselves. ”

Wang Dang shook his head slightly, and said: "Since the Runan thieves were pacified, my subordinates specially went to learn about the siege of the regular army of the court. The regular army attacking the city was nothing more than protecting the soldiers with chariots, attacking the city gate with rushing carts, shooting the city soldiers with well railings, and storming the city walls with ladders. When I heard about the pre-Qin period, there was also a catapult attacking the city, but the real thing was not seen, and the subordinates did not know. This mound has a large amount of work, and it has the ability of wells and ladders, and the investment of troops is not slower than that of the city gate, and it is not easy to be destroyed. It's just that there is no environmental protection ability of the car, but it is not good. The subordinates want to make a few big houses to defend against the enemy's bows and arrows to protect our soldiers and people. In this way, our army can be buried safely. ”

Han Yiqi said: "Big house? A big house that is arrow-proof? It doesn't weigh more than 10,000 catties, and it is very difficult to carry it up the mound. And the closer you are to the city, the easier it is to be burned by the enemy. ”

Wang Dang smiled and said: "It's okay, when our army came, I saw a lot of bamboo forests a few miles away, bamboo is lighter than wood, and then apply a layer of wet mud on it, the weight will never be too heavy......"

Wang Dang said his method, Han Yi nodded again and again after hearing it, such a bamboo house, even if there is no mound, it is easy to attack the city. It's just for protection, that's a big deal.

At this time, a personal guard came to report that Captain Bao Hongbao of the Southern Army had come to visit. Han Yi was taken aback when he heard this, this Bao Hongyue had sent someone to assassinate Yu Ji before, why did he come to visit at this time?

Han Yi was puzzled, when there is a grudge in the secret, it does not mean that you have to turn against each other when you meet. Han Yi waved off the generals and personally went out of the tent to welcome Bao Hong into the camp. Bao Hong laughed when he saw him: "Brother Han Yi is still Brother Qiu Yi, your surname really confuses my brother." At best, they just changed their name, but you changed your last name, which is very puzzling. ”

Han Yi Shili said: "There is another reason for this matter, Brother Bao also invited him to enter the camp to explain." ”

Han Yi respectfully invited Bao Hong into the camp, and ordered someone to send wine and meat to drink with him. After thirty years of drinking, Han Yi told him about the change of his surname. Bao Hong sighed: "It turns out that this is the case, and it is okay to do this, it is not because you are not filial to the son, but because the father is unkind in the first place." It's also a good thing to be independent and change your surname to Han. With your talent, in a few years, the name of the Zhaoling Han clan will also be famous in the world. ”

Han Yi shook his head and smiled: "Brother Bao, this is a joke for me." Yi is in a remote place in Runan, I don't know the heroes of the world, and when I saw the spirit of the generals of the Southern Army today, I suddenly felt ashamed, and I was ashamed that I was far away. ”

Han Yi knew that Bao Hong's restraint was insufficient and he liked to listen to kind words, so he spoke vigorously and persuaded him to drink, and he would never drink more than half a bottle, wanting to get Bao Hong drunk and ask about the assassin that day.

Bao Hong is also bold, every time the wine is dry, he is a little drunk after a while. Han Yi raised his head and asked, "Yi has just arrived, and I don't know the details of the battle between the Southern Army and the Nanyang Yellow Turban Thieves. Yi has seen it in Runan County, and the Yellow Turban Moth Thief is not difficult to attack. How can you have nearly 20,000 elite soldiers, but you have been implicated under Wancheng for a long time, and finally you have to send troops from Runan County to help. ”

Bao Hong said with resentment on his face: "This is not the fault of Zhu Gongwei, who is stubborn and self-serving. ”

Han Yi's heart moved and asked, "Oh? Xixiang Hou, the town thief Zhonglang will be the famous general of the country, how can this matter be his fault? ”

After Bao Hong drank a bottle of wine, he was about to explain carefully, and he didn't want to have a personal guard outside the tent to come to report, "Report to the army Sima, outside the camp, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the leader of the volunteers of Zhuo County, Hebei Province, came to wait, saying that he was ordered by the Marquis of Xixiang and the town thief Zhonglang to wait for him, and asked about the arrangements for tomorrow's battle. ”
