Chapter XXVII
Chapter XXVII
After three consecutive days of rapid travel, the gathering place of the government soldiers had appeared in Xu Qing's eyes, and Xu Qing was about to hit his horse forward, but he heard an angry roar:
"Stop! This is the barracks ......" The two soldiers jumped out and blocked Xu Qing.
"I came to lead the troops after receiving a military order...... Xu Qing was not angry, he knew the importance of the military camp sentry.
"Hahaha, you're here to report, right?" A soldier jumped out.
"Half-grown boy, what kind of soldiers are you leading, what about your captain?" Another asked.
"The official document is here, let me in......"
"Ah, I don't know how offended the adults are here." After speaking, a person took Xu Qing to the barracks.
The camp was well-behaved, the military affairs were well organized, and the sentry posts were orderly, and even the layman could not help but applaud. Xu Qing looked secretly and came to the front of the Chinese military tent. The soldier who led the way whispered a few words to the guard in front of the Chinese army's tent, and the guard's eyes lit up and asked Xu Qing:
"The general is Captain Renyong Xu Qing?"
"I'm Xu Qing, how do you recognize me......"
"It's not that I recognize you, my general is your old friend... He said you come and go in directly, don't report it. ”
"The last general, Xu Qing, was transferred to receive the order!" Xu Qingjin bowed his head and knelt on one knee and arched his hand.
Half a breath, "Xu boy, don't come to harm?" A warm voice came from the tent.
Xu Qing looked up and hissed, it turned out to be Liu Zan! After Liu Zan suppressed bandits in Shandong last time, he shined again because of Xu Qing's saltpeter ice-making method. was originally a small junior general, transferred to this decisive battle, although it was to guard the rear, but it shows that he is trusted, and he is a general.
Liu Zan also remembered Xu Qing's affection, and after he arrived, he specially transferred Xu Qing to serve as the battalion captain. Liu Zan also took into account that his logistics troops were relatively safe, as long as the grain, grass and ordnance were escorted on time, there would always be some merit in the end.
"General Liu......" Xu Qing made an expression of gratitude and longing. This made Liu Zan very happy, and said in his heart that this kid values affection.
"Okay, don't say anything else, this battle is the main general of King Qin, King Qin has nothing that he can't win, I asked you to come over and get a piece of the pie." Liu Zan said.
"Thank you, General Liu, for promoting...... It's just that why am I controlled by Li You, the king of Qi? ”
"The king of Qin is the main battle, and the king of Qi guards the ......" Liu Zan just replied simply.
"General Liu, I don't know what the kid is responsible for this time?" Xu Qingxin said in his heart, although the brothers of the Li family are very infighting, but when it comes to the critical time, they still support each other, especially in the war, and they are unwilling to stumble, which is rare. The crown prince is good at governance, the king of Qin is good at fighting, if the brothers can join hands, it may not be possible to say where China is going.
"Well, you battalion captain only need to send grain and grass......" Liu Zan saw that Xu Qing no longer asked about King Qi, nodded and returned.
"Don't fight to kill the enemy?" Xu Qing's face was happy, and he smiled, it turned out to be a grain officer. Now he is grateful to Liu Zan.
"Hmph, don't be too happy too early, it's not difficult to say about this grain and grass, but it's not easy."
"As long as you don't die, it's fine...... Hehe......" Xu Qing was still very happy, and smiled heartlessly.
"Maybe the enemy will cut off the grain and grass?"
"General Liu, don't scare me......"
"Hahaha, you kid has also fought in the military camp, and you have killed people, how can you be as brave as a chicken cub." Liu Zan looked at Xu Qing's timid appearance and laughed.
"......" Xu Qing was speechless for a while, the last time he killed those people, wasn't he a born calf, he didn't know anything, and he hadn't seen the cruelty of war.
"Okay, let's stop teasing you, go out with me to lead the troops, right?" After Liu Zan finished speaking, he took Xu Qing out of the military tent.
After the three-way drum was finished, there were five or six thousand people standing on the school ground, some with their heads sticking out their brains, some trembling, some standing and contemplative, and so on.
Xu Qing stood on the high platform with Liu Zan, and Liu Zan said loudly:
"Let's take a look at this, this is the new battalion captain Xu Qing, don't look at his age, but he has also fought with the general, and he was named a benevolent lieutenant at a young age."
"Ahem, today I selected three teams of men and horses to escort grain and grass with Captain Xu, seven hundred and fifty people, plus fifty auxiliaries. Those present are instructed to leave the venue if they are over 23 years old, under 50 years old and unwell. ”
Xu Qing was about to choose some good people when he heard Liu Zan say this, and almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurting out.
Those who are over twenty-three years old and under fifty years old leave, and the rest are either old or weak? Is this still a war or not?
Liu Zan saw that Xu Qing was dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "Don't think about it, you are transporting grain, these soldiers are enough, and the rest, good steel is used on the blade."
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay, the old and weak are old and weak, just don't go to the front line." Xu Qing wiped his sweat.
"Look at your little bit of ......," Liu Zan scolded with a smile.
At this time, there were only white hair and some shivering people on the school field, and sure enough, except for the old man, he had never been on the battlefield. Liu Zan motioned to Xu Qing to pick someone, Xu Qing pouted, what is there to pick, there are only a few people. However, the number eight of the short ones screened out some of the recruits who were too afraid, and there were eight hundred people. The veteran Xu Qing didn't screen out, these people used it well, and they were also treasures.
"Battalion Captain Xu Qing listened to the order: Your department will escort 400 stones of grain and grass, give 50 horses, and 30 good horses, and arrive on time, there must be no mistakes." Liu Zan said solemnly.
"The Last General's Order!" Xu Qing said with a sigh of relief.
"Xu Qing, your eight hundred people are improvised, and the three teams and fifteen gang leaders are selected by you."
"Okay, thank you General Liu." Xu Qing thanked, thinking that the right to appoint and dismiss personnel, that is, you can do whatever you like, it's amazing.
After Liu Zan left, Xu Qing glanced at the eight hundred people in the school field, and the eight hundred people also looked at Xu Qing. Xu Qing asked, "Those who have been cavalrymen will stand up."
More than two dozen people hesitated a little and came out, most of them veterans, and two recruits. Xu Qing counted 25 people.
"Okay, twenty-five of you, each with a horse, divided into five groups, patrol and reconnoiter around our army." Xu Qing divided the tasks again, and the two groups patrolled within ten miles in front of the army, reporting the enemy first, and then harassing them.
Xu Qing looked at the school again, and a flash of inspiration occurred in his heart, it turned out that Liu Zan gave me these soldiers with deep meaning: recruits are easy to fool, veterans are sensible and will not disobey orders, these 800 people are the most handy for themselves, a newcomer, Xu Qing can't help but admire Liu Zan's thoughtfulness.
"The rest, I haven't been on the battlefield once." Xu Qing said. After a while, more than twenty came out, and they didn't have to kill the enemy when they went to the battlefield, and they had some experience with the flag waving behind their butts.
More than twenty people, all young people, were full of worry in their eyebrows, and they didn't know what Xu Qing wanted them to do. Hey? No, there's an old man.
"That veteran, you are quite old, how come you haven't been on the battlefield......" Xu Qing asked from afar.
"I ...... Little old man, I fought seven or eight battles, all of which were carried in the back, and I didn't ...... I haven't been up before......," the man returned.
"Hahaha, the old slippery head ......" The people around him laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Seven or eight times to transport grain? Well, you'll be in charge of transporting the food with a team. The school field was quiet all of a sudden, I didn't expect a team to come out like this, but many veterans looked at Xu Qing and nodded.
"No, no, no, the little old man doesn't dare, I haven't led a team before......"
"This is a military order...... Xu Qing didn't talk nonsense with him: "In addition, you start picking people, first pick the kid and those weaker veterans." The veteran had no choice but to pick people.
Xu Qing looked at the remaining twenty or so who had never been on the battlefield, and Shun: "You just follow me, and you will have to do the chores in the army in the future."
Later, Xu Qing picked out several experienced veterans from the school field to serve as the deputy of the team, and
Guys. Then they were told to pick their own people, and when they had picked the rest, they sent them to the grain delivery team. Xu Qing told the five more resourceful soldiers how to ride horses, and gave them the remaining five good horses as a herald, and he himself rode the old horse with a big horseshoe.
Get a good day's rest and get ready to go!
