Chapter Twenty-Nine: Gear Up
Personally tied the red cloak for Zhao Yong, hung the sword on his waist, Bo Ji took two steps back, looked at Zhao Yong, who was already wearing a new one in front of her, she barely squeezed out a smile, and said to Zhao Yong: "The king wears this uniform, but it is heroic and tight." ”
"Perhaps." Zhao Yong also looked at himself in the mirror, although it was the second time he personally led the troops, but the last time it was just a small fight, not a regular siege operation. This time is different, he will personally lead the southern army of Zhao State, divide the troops into three routes, and complete the attack on Zhongshan State under the guidance of the northern army.
After careful consideration, he still decided to lead the troops to Zhongshan himself, not because he was worried that the generals would not do their best, but because he liked this kind of horse life from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps because of the high-rise building, computer and telephone life in the future, he began to like this exciting and adventurous day.
Domestic affairs have been arranged, in the days when leading the troops to go out, the four secretaries will assist the government, and all state affairs and political affairs will be handled by the four secretaries, and the things that must be handled by themselves will be passed on quickly, and it will not be too delayed.
Zhao Shan and Zhao Yuan, the commanders of the Jianling battalion, were ordered to garrison Handan. Zhao Shan not to mention, Zhao Yuan is a young man who was promoted by Zhao Yong, a rising star of the Zhao State clan, he has always been responsible for assisting Li Zhuo, and he is also more loyal to Zhao Yong, and Zhao Yong is not afraid that he will betray himself and let his backyard catch fire. What's more, Zhao Yong handed over the command of the Wangcheng Guards to Zhao Yi, and the other half of the tiger talisman was in Feiyi's hands, even if Zhao Yi couldn't resist the temptation, there was still Feiyi to contain him.
Abroad, Zhao Yong sent Fu Ding, Lou Chuan and Sima Qian to several surrounding countries respectively, with the purpose of seeking neutrality. Sima Qian was transferred to the Dianke Division after welcoming his relatives, and he can be regarded as an important member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Zhao State, and this time he will be an envoy to Qi State.
It was such a layer-by-layer arrangement that Zhao Yong dared to put down his hand to solve the Northern Expedition. In this way, the news finally came that the northern legion would meet from Quyang under the leadership of Zhao Xi and Niu Qian, and next, they would go all the way east to provoke a war on the border of Zhongshan, and Zhao Yong finally decided that the southern legion of the Zhao army would go to the house city to meet and make peace.
Suddenly, his waist tightened, and a soft delicate body wrapped around his waist and leaned on his back, but he heard Bo Ji say slowly in his ear: "The concubine didn't expect that just after coming here, the king was going to leave the Northern Expedition." Although the concubine can't stop the king's thoughts, the concubine is in Handan to welcome the king's triumph. ”
Zhao Yong turned around and hugged Bo Ji tightly in his arms. This Korean woman, for some reason, always has a feeling of seeing him late, as if she should be the person she was destined to be in thousands of years.
Of course, Zhao Yong will never believe this feeling, he is very rational that this is a virus called love at first sight, which makes him have a strange obsession and freshness for Boji, and he does not dare to guarantee that he will not empathize with others, but what he can guarantee is that if it can be achieved for a long time, then the woman who is destined to be with him should be her.
"Don't worry, when Gu comes back, Gu still wants you to give birth to a little son for Zhao Guo." Zhao Yong said, ruthlessly peeling himself away from Boji's gentle township, and finally glanced at the woman who had red circles in her eyes, turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
Zhao Yi accompanied him, walked across the covered bridge, turned the corner, and was not far from the entrance of the main hall, and saw Zhong Ji standing there, looking in this direction, seeing that she appeared, her anxious face showed a different smile, took two steps, made a big salute, and praised in her mouth: "Concubine greets the king, I wish the king a triumphant return." ”
"Well, I'm not around for the past two days, you have to take care of yourself, and go to Mrs. on weekdays to walk around and accompany her."
"Yes."
Zhao Yong looked at her innocent smile, but for some reason it had been hidden, and was replaced by a sad face and a woman's popular dress. Zhao Yong couldn't help but stretch out his hand, gently swayed her pretty face, and said in his ear: "Lone still likes the naïve Zhong Ji." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the main hall, leaving Zhong Ji standing there with a shy face.
Walking into the main hall, the civil and military officials stood on both sides, and saw Zhao Yong walk up to the main hall, the civil officials were headed by Zhao Bao, and Wu Guang stood at the front on behalf of the military attaché.
Seeing Zhao Yong standing still, Zhao Bao took the lead in walking out of the queue, saluted Zhao Yong, and said, "I respectfully ask you to speak." ”
Zhao Yong nodded, looking at the audience, some of the civil officials were worried, some were still confused, and some were in high spirits, and then look at the military attachés, those generals who had already known the news and could make meritorious contributions this time were ecstatic, and those generals who knew that there was no drama were also full of envy in their eyes, and even hoped that Zhao Yong would think of himself again and let himself lead the troops to the battle.
"Pang Cong obeys orders."
"The last general will obey orders." Pang Cong, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, knew that he would lead the troops to the expedition this time, and hurried out of the ranks. In fact, looking at the whole of Handan, only he is the only general who can be used. What's more, the Pang family is a descendant cultivated by Zhao Yong, and he is also in charge of Jianjian Ridge, so he is the commander of this elite army.
"General Pang Cong, led 1,000 cavalry of the Baijin Battalion, 2,000 rolls of armor in the Roll Armor Battalion, and the rest of the troops near Handan, a total of 10,000 people, as the middle route troops, focusing on attacking the two cities of Dongyuan and Fenglong, and must take this city within three months." Zhao Yong waved his hand, Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, picked up a wooden plate from the table next to him, on which was placed a tiger-shaped ornament. The ornament is obviously half, not one, this is the legendary tiger talisman.
Pang Cong took the tiger talisman and responded loudly: "The last general will take the order." ”
"Zhao Zhuang listens to orders."
"The end will be." Zhao Zhuang had been hanging on the Southern Great Wall by himself before, and this time he went on an expedition, because he had to divide the troops into three ways, and there was no way but to reactivate him. However, this person is still quite grateful to Zhao Yong, and he even thought that he would be hung in the south by Zhao Yong.
"General Zhao Zhuang, led 10,000 soldiers, set out from Shancheng, marched to Luancheng and stationed, and the Pang Cong troops protecting the middle road were outflanked by the locality."
"The last will obey." He also took the tiger talisman handed over, although he was a little disappointed, but it was just a response to the troops, but it was better than no battle.
"Zhao Guang, Li Zhuo, and Qiu Liquid listen to orders."
"The end will be." The three of them heard Zhao Yong shouting their names and hurriedly walked out of the queue. These four people can also be regarded as novices on the battlefield, in addition to Li Zhuoqiu, who has been on the battlefield, Zhao Yong himself is also a novice, this is an absolutely young army.
"Headed by Zhao Guang, the Juanjia Battalion and the Baijin Battalion each sent 5,000 troops, and the rest of the baggage troops were led by Gu himself, and they went out of the city to Shiyi in the north to capture the city."
"Only the name of the king is followed." If this battle is really fought, the careers of the three of them will definitely rise to the top, and with this exploit, they will become the mainstay of the army. Especially following Zhao Yong, it is easier to make meritorious contributions. What's more, he is a left-flank force, and he has almost no fear of being outflanked by the enemy, as long as he doesn't make a mistake, he will definitely get ahead when he comes back.
"Sima Wu Guang, Shangqing Le Yi, Lou Slow." Zhao Yong continued.
"The minister is here." The three of them responded.
"Three marches with solitude."
"Yes."
"Situ Zhao Bao, Sikong Zhao Cheng, Si Kou Feiyi, the three stayed in Handan. Military supplies, timely scheduling, major and small matters, as appropriate, important matters, can be reported to the front of the army. ”
"Yes."
"The rest of you, stay in Handan. I hope that all the ministers will think of the country and do their best to fulfill their duties. It is imperative to ensure the stability of the country. On the day of the triumph of the lonely, the merit will be rewarded! ”
"Congratulations on your triumphant return." The ministers knew that this was already a done deal, and they could not make any more changes, and it was useless to persuade them, so they could only believe that God would bless them, so that the shame of Zhao State could be washed away in a battle.
"Get out!" After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked down and walked outside the hall. The soldiers, who had already been ready to go, saw Zhao Yong walking out with a serious face, and they all cheered up and looked at the commander.
Except for Zhao Yong's left flank, the soldiers of the rest of the troops were on standby outside the city, while the troops of Zhao Zhuang of the right flank army needed him to inform the relevant cities that they must arrive at a certain place on a certain day and month, and those who did not arrive within the time limit would be beheaded for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. The relevant ordnance and materials of the Right Route Army were also taken care of by the baggage troops, and they were distributed after they were delivered to the assembly site.
However, like Zhao Yong's Left Route Army and Pang Cong's Right Route Army, since the main troops came from the Jianling Battalion, they did not need to be as troublesome as Zhao Zhuang. As long as you bring dry rations for the three-day march, then repair them in Shancheng and Fangcheng, and bring three more days of dry rations, and the rest will be handed over to the baggage troops to deal with.
Although the whole army was only more than 30,000 people, the number of baggage troops in the logistics service reached 50,000, mainly because there were too many cavalry, resulting in a relatively large number of baggage troops. Of course, this is not counting the 70,000 farmers who were requisitioned. The main role of these farmers is to be responsible for the transportation of grain and forage, while the baggage troops are more responsible for forage, ordnance and repair materials, as well as escorting troops.
In particular, it should be mentioned that this also includes many craftsmen and langzhong. The purpose of the craftsman was to create siege machines. Whether it is Shiyi or Dongyuan, they are all cities that have been operated by Zhongshan Kingdom for a long time, and if this kind of place is piled up with flesh and blood, it will definitely be a river of blood, and it may not be able to fight down. At this time, some siege equipment becomes the first choice. Zhao Yong knew through understanding that the engineering equipment that the craftsmen of Zhao Guo were good at building were generally rushing cars and ladders, and they would not know how to trebuchet. And in order to build these things, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it takes at least nearly half a month to build.
And Lang Zhong is Zhao Yong's request, the role of these Lang Zhong must be military doctors, bring some commonly used hemostatic drugs to minimize and improve the survival rate of injuries and diseases.
Zhao Yong rode on the horse, looking at the mighty team, and a sense of pride arose in his heart. He drew his sword, pointed at the sky and shouted, "Go!"
