Chapter 31: What is Hope?

The sound of the main general's gathering of troops and drums finally alarmed Gong Zhang, the county monarch located in the city, and Qiu Rui, Zhu Mian, Qiu Zhen and others. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When Yan Ping had just finished reading out the Han military law and had not had time to disband the army, Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian escorted Gong Zhang to the camp.

When Gong Zhang learned that Yan Ping had already punished Qiu Yi, in order to maintain the authority of Yan Ping, Gong Zhang, did not intervene in the punishment again, but just called all the officers above the general to the main general's account, scolded him fiercely, and asked the officers and men of the whole army not to make trouble for no reason, and focused on several main officers of the Ye family. Gong Zhang's anger, Ye Cun and the others were still a little afraid, after all, the Ye family in Ye County, Nanyang was no longer as good as it was back then.

After Gong Zhang left, Qiu Rui, Zhu Mian and other officers belonging to Zhu and Qiu Er's clan still had a positive attitude towards Qiu Yi's drumming to quell the chaos, and they couldn't help but think a little higher about Qiu Yi's cognition and ability. Qiu Yi suddenly realized that Che La's strategy may not be as harmful as it seems. It is not a good thing to win the approval of the officers of Zhu and Qiu Er's clan with a small injury.

Qiu Yi returned to the account and thanked Che La again and again, Che La smiled slightly: "The affairs of the army are nothing more than three things for the generals, one is to be courageous, dare to fight and dare to die; the second is to dare to take responsibility, not afraid of not pushing; Third, it is fair and strict, with clear rewards and punishments. With these three things in place, you will have the foundation to become a famous general. The military Hou trusts the old man so much, and the old man is just a gesture, so why worry about it. ”

After Che La retreated, Qiu Yi lay in the tent and meditated, and the idea of using the new law to train an army became stronger and stronger. It's just that the affairs of the army have just been entrusted to Che La and Tian Brown, and it is inconvenient to regret it, so I have to write and draw with my fingers on the bed board. It's just that there is a lot of noise in the army, and I can't calm down and think about things, anyway, there is nothing else in the army. Qiu Yi decided to go home to recuperate for a few days, and then think about the new law at home.

asked Zhu Mian for a few days of vacation, and got into a baggage truck with Lu Ping and Cheng Qi to transport into the city, and returned to Zhu's mansion. Qiu Yi has not returned home for more than 20 days, because he used to go out to hunt, and he went for ten and a half months, and his wife and children were basically not surprised.

Zhu Zhan saw that Qiu Yi's pace was unsteady, with the smell of medicine and blood all over his body, he couldn't help but stroke his nose and pull his second son back a few steps, and said: "Let you join the army, I originally wanted you to help Brother Mian and Rui Gongzi well in the army, but I don't want you to be in the army for only 20 days, and then someone else took away the military power first, and then was subjected to military law, which is simply useless." Stay away from me, and don't burn my son. ”

Qiu Yi was helpless, so he took the initiative to take a few steps back and muttered: "I haven't seen you for many days, I want to hug my son......"

The eldest son, Zhu Ning, looked at Qiu Yi with a probe in his head, his mouth was deflated, and he said, "Father, what about the deer you promised to catch for me, and the eagle you caught for my brother?" How not? ”

Qiu Yi cracked his mouth and said, "My father hasn't gone hunting recently, so I'll wait for ......."

Zhu Ning and Zhu Yan snorted at the same time and said, "Hmph, big liar, I won't give you a hug, mother, let's go, ignore this stinky person." ”

Looking at the three people who were gradually moving away, Qiu Yi was very helpless, the father wanted to hug his son, but he still needed to coax each other, Zhu Zhan's such a random parenting method made the relationship between father and son so indifferent, how could he be born in the future.

Qiu Yi came to the study that Zhu Zhan had prepared for his second son, and in the three years since Yan'er was born, this place has been his bedroom. Qiu Yi knelt beside the case, holding a pen in his hand, contemplating in the face of a blank bamboo slip, and writing down a line of words in the middle of the day. "The ...... of the Queue Drill of the New Law Training Army"

Ten days later, Qiu Yi threw away the pen in his hand, looked at more than a dozen rolls of bamboo slips, and tens of thousands of words of the new method of training the army, and was happy and uneasy. Although the new method of training the army is a combination of the method in the dream and the experience of the two veterans of Che La and Gao District, after all, it has never been really implemented in the army, let alone tested on the battlefield, and I don't know whether this method is feasible, which finally made Qiu Yi uncertain.

The original guard song was a good example of testing the strategy of the new method of training the army, but it was forcibly taken away by Ye Cun and scattered among the eight hundred soldiers, which made Qiu Yi's idea fall short. The current front part of the armor was formed early, and it was given carte blanche to Che La, and if you want to get another army to test the new law, I don't know how long it will take?

Today is the day of the Summoning Ling Volunteers, Qiu Yi's injuries are no longer in trouble, so he put the iron armor neatly on the morning and prepared to leave the city. The iron armor is still a little heavy, but it can get used to it. Qiu Yi has horses to ride, but it doesn't take much effort. It's just that the good bow has not yet been retrieved from Ye Cun, and it is inevitably a little inconvenient to fight on the battlefield, so I have to take a one-stone longbow of the military standard for temporary use.

When I returned to the camp outside the city, the whole camp had already begun to pack up in the camp. Ten carts were loaded with the marching camp tents and other materials in each tun, and there were twenty carts in the two tuns of Jiaqu, all of which were handed over to the baggage and heavy qu to transport.

At this time, there were 400 soldiers, 400 pack horses, and 400 carts, and almost all the pack horses and carts in the county were confiscated. He also summoned 800 people who were mere coolies, and the original army of 1,200 had already expanded into an army of 3,000 men. Basically, all the strong men in the county who can fight are all collected. Compared with Gong Zhang, this is already a bit of a ruin.

At the end of the day, the whole army was cleaned up, and the 3,000 officers and soldiers of the whole army gathered around the point platform to listen to the impassioned oath of the county monarch Gong Zhang. The point platform was full of the county's shihao chiefs, mainly Xu Pu of the Xu family. County Lieutenant Ye Hua also smiled and led the left-behind officials in the county and stood aside. Not every county official is as bold as Gong Zhang, and there are only two people who are willing to follow Gong Zhang's expedition, one surnamed Zhao and the other surnamed Zhu, who serve as senators with the army.

Gong Zhang's oath is exquisite, and even a person like Qiu Yi who is coarse in writing and ink can't understand it, let alone three thousand soldiers who don't understand literature and ink. There are only a few people who can understand, but most of the people on the stage understand, and they have praised the knowledge of Gong Zhang, the county monarch.

At the end, Gong Zhang's big hand waved, and Zhu Mian, the vanguard officer in the front, shouted loudly, took the horse and carried the sword, and led the troops to the west, and the other armies followed one after another. In a short time, the 3,000 army was stretched out for a distance of three or four miles, and headed towards Yingchuan County and Yunxian County in the west.

If the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Runan County are wreaking havoc in the east, then the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Yingchuan County are wreaking havoc in the west. If it is said that the Yellow Turban thieves in Runan County have no leader and lack succession, then the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan County are tiger-led wolves, invincible throughout the county.

Under the leadership of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Moth thieves gathered in Yingchuan, not only to break through the county of Yingchuan County Zhiyang Zhai, but also to break through the eight counties in the north of the west of Yingchuan, and swept away. Now it is in the area of Yingchuan County Changshe, and the 40,000 elite troops of the Zhonglang generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun sent by the court are holding on. In the first battle not long ago, he defeated Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and beheaded more than 1,000 people.

Yingchuan's yellow turban thieves are powerful, and Gong Zhangke has no intention of going to Changshe to fight for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. So he discussed with the generals, first exterminated the Yellow Turban of Yunxian County, which was close to Zhaoling, and stabilized the rear.

There were eight or nine thousand yellow turban thieves in Yun County, and the four county towns were not lost in the hands of the court, and Duyun County was broken. In order to enhance the morale of the Zhaoling army, persimmons should be pinched softly. This yellow turban has no reinforcements, and there is no place to escape, and it is easy to break.

The head of the Yellow Turban Thief in Yunxian County is surnamed Du, whose name is strong, and it is rumored that he was born as a servant of the Du family in Dingling. At the beginning of the year, he gathered a rebellion, but he couldn't capture Dingling, so he turned to Yunxian and broke it, until now. Du Li was in Yuncheng, heard that a large army was coming from the east, and he didn't know what the strength of the incoming army was, so he immediately gathered all the Yellow Turban thieves in the city, closed the city, and secretly sent a sentry to investigate the military situation.

Che La slashed over a little leader of the Yellow Turban, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at the city in front of him. Just now, the front part of Jiaqu caught up with a team of yellow turban thieves who did not enter the city, and this team of yellow turban thieves carried a lot of money, food and property, so they could not go fast, so they were surrounded three miles outside the city and were exterminated together.

Che La said to Qiu Yi: "The army waits, Yun County has ten rooms and nine emptiness, the people have either been killed or fled, and there are only less than 10,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves in the big county of 10,000 households. The military rations brought by our army are insufficient, and it is not easy to get food on the spot. ”

When the Zhaoling army went to war, they only carried ten days of military rations, which was already the most food that Zhaoling could take out. The journey of a hundred miles lasted three days, and there were only seven days' food left. I wanted to come to Yun County to collect some of it, but I didn't want Yun County to be destroyed by the Yellow Turban Thieves and have nowhere to get food.

Qiu Yi frowned and looked at the soldiers who were robbing each other of their belongings, and asked, "It seems that only there is food in the city now." General Che Laotun, you are old in the army, I don't know what way to break the city? ”

Che La shook his head slightly at the soldiers, signaling Qiu Yi not to manage too much, otherwise he was afraid that the soldiers would fight back, and said: "Du Li is brutal and cautious, he has an army of nearly 10,000 but he doesn't dare to go out of the city to fight, and it is difficult to break the city." Let's wait for the army to come together, and wait for the lord to consult with the generals. ”

Qiu Yi also knew that the soldiers under his command were all from poor backgrounds, and they were the most disadvantaged. But just now, Fang made a concerted effort to exterminate forty or fifty thieves without killing a single soldier, but now for the sake of some property on the ground, they are fighting together for what you push me to rob, doesn't it hurt the feelings between comrades.

Qiu Yi finally couldn't get used to it, and said: "The army listens to the order, and no longer fights for property with each other, and after everyone picks up the property, they will hand it over to us. ”

The soldiers stagnated, and some people bowed their heads and said strangely: "I have entered the pockets of the soldiers, and there is still a day to come out?" ”

Cheng Qi scolded angrily: "Which bastard thing dares to question the military candidate? ”

Qiu Yi hurriedly grabbed Cheng Qi and shouted: "If this army is waiting for an unauthorized article, this battle should be shot by random arrows and die." ”

All the army's hearts were shocked, and they looked at Qiu Yi with admiration, as a military candidate, they could make such a poisonous oath when they were about to fight, which can be described as the extreme fairness and selflessness in their hearts. This son-in-law's military candidate is not without merit, but it is worth believing.
