Chapter 625: The Barracks Are Old
(Thanks to the "Alexander Bear" book friends for their precious monthly passes, July is off to a good start!) I hope that July Wolf III can be ranked among the sixty on the monthly pass, and I hope that all book friends will support you! Thank you Brother Y for your reward, I haven't been able to see the vertical and horizontal revisions in the past two days, don't blame the brothers, today's long comment is more practical, the most recent chapter is to establish a biography for Liu Huan, and the second is to lead to some of the plots in the future, as for the casino Liu Yi will not interfere too much now, after all, these are impossible to prohibit, only to strengthen control, and the mutual harm between animals Xiao Zhuge does not like it, the plot needs! As for Liu Yi, he is not in Beijing, and now he is back on the battlefield in Sizhou! )
Qingli northern suburbs of ten miles along the river village, this village because of a small stream from the village and get the name, a few days of heavy rain made the water level of Qingxi skyrocket, if placed ten years ago will be a natural disaster, but after Liu Yi entered the Sizhou, Zhang Hu vigorously developed farmland water conservancy, Qingxi has also become an important source of irrigation for irrigation of nearby fertile land, the stable embankment makes the villagers do not show any panic about the heavy rain, in previous years at this time is also more so, for them to store water for their own use.
Today's rain has gradually decreased, and by dusk the light rain has been heard, and there is even a hint of the sunset, at this time in this small village of about 100 families, almost every house has a curling smoke rising from the roof, making it look full of peace and tranquility. However, the cooking in the kitchen is the largest pot in the family, and the inside is also slowly dang, this pot is enough for twenty or thirty strong men to eat a full meal, it is obvious that the villagers are not cooking for themselves at this time, and General Liu's soldiers are about to arrive.
Seeing that the majestic figure riding on the dark clouds and snow appeared at the end of the trail, Mu Shun hurriedly took his soldiers to greet him, today he came here to greet the lord, Yanxi Village will be the station of the three thousand soldiers of the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu tonight, and ten miles away, the 20,000 Yanyun battalion is already waiting for the pillow, waiting to accompany the lord to send troops at any time.
This was the day Liu Yi discussed with Zhang Hu in the mansion, mobilizing half of the forces of the Tiger Prison to rush to Qingli, led by Liu Yi himself, and giving the coalition a fatal blow when necessary! Since the strategy of seeing the coalition army and Sizhou territory has been set, Liu Yi will go all out to implement it, and the tiger prison is the key to his restriction of Cao Cao's westward direction, that is, when the coalition army is in full swing, Zhang Liao, who is the main general, has not mobilized too many soldiers here, and the 40,000 troops of the Yanyun battalion led by Zhang Xiu have always firmly sat in this Xiongguan! After careful discussion with Zhang Hu, Liu Yi made the decision to mobilize 20,000 troops here, and was led by Mu Shun, the general of Weibei, to come here.
At this time, Cao Cao's army has been pressed on the front line of Xincheng and Yiyang in Jingzhou, and the rest of the main forces left behind were also contained by Jia Xu and Zhao Yun on the border of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and the possibility that he could mobilize men and horses to capture the tiger prison is very small, so Liu Yi and Zhang Hu will have this decision, out of prudence, they still left the 20,000 horses led by Zhang Xiu to continue to sit here, thinking that his uncle Zhang Ji was 20,000 defenders to resist the 80,000 elites of Youzhou led by Gao Shun for seven days, and now the combat strength of the Yanyun battalion is still above the defenders of the day, This arrangement is foolproof!
This Mu Shun was originally a subordinate of Liu Bao in Bingzhou, and later got the handwriting of the old general Huangfu Song in the battle of Bingzhou to dedicate the source city, and in the later strategy of luring the enemy to establish meritorious service, Liu Yi therefore attacked the enemy village at night in Baiping, and broke 90,000 men and horses including 30,000 Hun cavalry in one fell swoop, this battle set the overall situation, and then Mu Shun has served in Zhang Liao's Yanyun camp so far.
Zhang Xiu was very excited after receiving the lord's military order, he had already had the heart to send troops to help, and the people who gave Mu Shun were all the elite in the army, and the grain, grass and ordnance were all ready, the only regret for him was that he could not follow the lord to make contributions in the Sizhou War, but he also knew that the tiger prison was in Liu Yi's heart, and he would never be at ease without a general sitting here.
"Mu Shun, the deputy commander of the Yanyun Battalion, has seen the lord, the lord has come from afar to work hard, and the village along the river in front has prepared a war meal and a place to camp, so he asked the lord to rest here tonight." Before Liu Yi approached, Mu Shunfei got off Ma Shili to see, and he hadn't seen the lord for several years.
"Okay, the public arrangement is really proper, this rapid march is quite hard, tonight is a good life and peace, you and I will talk after entering the village." Liu Yi sat down and raised his right hand slightly to signal Mu Shun to say without salute, looking at his smile and obviously quite satisfied with this arrangement.
"No!" Mu Shun heard that Yan Fei got on his horse and went first, and took the lord directly into the camp tent set up next to the village, at this time there were also many Yanyun battalion soldiers who were setting up iron pots to boil water, and were drenched in heavy rain for two days, take a good bath, change into dry clothes, and sleep beautifully, which must be a great pleasure for the comrades who marched all the way here, although in peacetime there will be a sense of competition between the battalions, but when the battle formation is coordinated, they all attach great importance to their comrades.
The news of Liu Yi's personal arrival this time needs to be kept secret for the time being, so the villagers who received those Yanxi Village villagers who brought food became a cadre in the second battalion, and it can be seen from its abundance that the people love General Liu's corporaries, although Mu Shun provided a lot before, but those chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep were all spontaneously donated by the villagers, and the treatment of these 3,000 soldiers at this time was different from the soldiers of the coalition army who were still in the arduous march.
"I've seen the general, I've seen the general......" Liu Yi just entered the big tent, there are already a lot of old subordinates with the rank of captain with excitement to get up and salute each other, Yanyun Camp as the name suggests is mostly Youzhou children, the first to establish a prestige in Gan Ning's Pingliao Dongding Goguryeo, and was also the main force of Liu Jun in the battle of Bingzhou, and then Liu Yi handed over this battalion to Zhang Liao, who had the talent of a general, at the beginning of these proud generals under Gan Ning were not convinced by a general as their commander, but with the conquest again and again, Wen Yuan used his own strength to conquer the soldiers of the whole battalion, many of them were Liu Yi's old subordinates, and he was naturally very kind when he hadn't seen the lord for a long time.
"Wang Yun, Lu Ji, Jiang Tao......" Liu Yi smiled and reported the names of these subordinates one by one, and everyone heard the general mention that he was straight, with a proud look on his face, the general's memory is still so good, and there has been no forgetting after many years, at this time they have forgotten their identity as officers, and it seems that they have become ordinary soldiers under the general again.
"Wang Yun, what is your official position under General Zhang, and how old is the child? How is it at home? "Being protected by a group of stars and moons to sit down at the table, Mu Shun had already sent someone to bring Liu Yi a meal, all kinds of things are very varied, and they are all what he likes to eat in the barracks, looking at an old subordinate who is serving in front of him, Liu Yi's right hand is pressed down, and they simply sit on the ground one by one, when the general was camping, he often ate with them like this, at this time, he remembered that seven or eight years have passed, Liu Yi also sighed when he saw this, and he did not shy away from using the meal at the moment, and asked some old subordinates, After all, it was impossible for him to know everyone's current situation.
"General Hui, his subordinates are now the third military captain of the Yanyun Battalion, commanding three thousand soldiers, the eldest son is already fifteen, he will be in the military camp next year and continue to serve the general, everything is fine at home, and his parents are still in the world now." The lieutenant named Wang Yun reflexively got up and said, the general was the first to ask about him, which was a great honor.
"Sit down and sit down, remember that you entered the battalion in Yanjun back then, Xingba's subordinates became the captain, and now you are a captain, very good, worthy of being a veteran of my year, after this victory, I will discuss with General Zhang, give those who have been away from their hometown for a long time some holidays, go back to see your father, do your filial piety, it is not easy for you to be away all the year round, think of your daughter-in-law." Liu Yi hurriedly asked him to sit down, and said very gently, according to military regulations, non-commissioned officers and officers who have been in the army for two years can return to their hometowns to visit relatives every year, but sometimes they will be delayed because of the urgency of the war.
"The general is still the same as back then, I told the soldiers every day that the general could clearly remember the names of thousands of people in the whole battalion, and I didn't think anything at first, but after I became a captain, I realized how difficult it was, and I only remembered a small half of it with all my efforts. If you want to say that you are homesick or really want to be homesick, but the state government will transfer a letter to the family every time, my parents and wives have said in the letter that the general's virtue is good, so I can be effective, and I don't have to worry about everything at home, the last time I went back was two years ago, this girl is more than a year old and has not seen each other, and now the general is in person, I will definitely wipe out the gang of thieves in the territory, and when the time comes, there will be a light on my face when I go back with military achievements. Wang Yun said eloquently when he heard this, although the generals are now high-ranking and powerful, but their attitude is still the same as before, and he is very grateful in his heart.
"General, the son of his subordinates is in Youzhou Academy, a letter came from a month ago and said that he was with the eldest son, the eldest prince treats people kindly, I heard that it is the children of the army who take great care of my kid, I said that the general's son is different from ordinary people, and he treats his subordinates well." Another person stood up and said, this is already a habit that they can't get rid of, and they must keep the rules of the army when they speak in front of the general, otherwise they will feel that it is awkward to disrespect the general!
"You kid don't go around the bend to pat Lao Tzu's ass, can't you remember beating your military stick back then?" Liu Yi scolded with a smile, this captain's name is Jiang Tao, he is a subordinate in his West Garden, he once missed half a point, and he was beaten by fifteen military sticks, but then he worked hard, he must kill the enemy first in every battle, and established a lot of military exploits.
"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've heard the general speak like this, the general beat his subordinates for the good of his subordinates, otherwise where would he be the captain today? Besides, the officers who called out to the general are a lot of them in our army, who doesn't know that the lord's military law never favoritism, and now I also lead the troops, and I know the general's intentions back then, and I have been thinking about not knowing when I will have the opportunity to serve by the general's side again, but I didn't expect the general to come this time, this time to destroy the coalition army, the subordinates are willing to take the lead, if there is a mistake, willing to be a military law. Jiang Tao chuckled lightly when he heard this, Liu Yi rarely had foul words now, but in the ears of these old subordinates, it was extremely cordial, and the atmosphere immediately became lively, and Jiang Tao directly asked Liu Yi for war after speaking.
"I haven't spoken yet, what kind of head are you kidding, I should be the first to take the lead according to seniority, general, my subordinates are willing to take the lead in killing the enemy, if I miss it, I will come to see you!" At this time, another person stood up and spoke to Jiang Tao and then said to Liu Yi, it doesn't matter what he said, then several people stood up and spoke one after another, to say that this pre-war robbery is also a scene in the Youzhou army, especially this time it is still the lord's own leader, this honor is worth fighting for with a red face and a thick neck.
"Shut up Lao Tzu, I haven't finished my meal yet, what are you arguing about? Each of you has your own responsibilities, and you will give orders in the evening. Liu Yi's voice immediately quieted down in the middle of the scene, and all the generals were excited and expectant when they heard this, and at this time in Liu Yi's heart, it was a great satisfaction for the handsome to have such a group of loyal subordinates.
