Chapter 4 Section 36 The Mist

Tian Chou stood in front of the Boy Scouts, wanting to speak and stopping.

After a long time, he held back a sentence: "The dispatch order you received was issued by Lu Zijing (Lu Su), the governor of Hengjiang. Although Lu Zijing is also in charge of the military and political affairs of Jinan County, he has no right to mobilize you. The lord has already read that Lu Zijing first came to Qingzhou and does not understand the rules, so he will not be investigated. In other words, your dispatch order is not legal. ”

A boy chief stepped forward and replied loudly: "Xu Ling, the captain of the Zhangqiu Scout in Jinan County, reported to the governor that according to the law, once the scout training activities of the boy scouts begin, they need to be signed by the Grand Chair, the Governor (Liu Bei) and the Grand Governor before they can be terminated." The Metropolitan Governor is here, may I ask: Have you ever received the edict of the Grand Chair and the Envoy? ”

Tian Chou groaned: "Come on, there is such a big leak, I will personally confess to the lord." However, don't you know that the Boy Scouts are self-contained, and Lu Zijing's dispatch order is not legal. ”

Xu Ling's eyes were raised without blinking, and he replied: "Shangguan has an order, the boy does not distinguish between truth and falsehood, even if he is guilty, he is not as punished as the boy." ”

Tian Chou said angrily: "The punishment is not as good as the boy, but the military law can control the boy." Do you want to cite Liu Hun's example, do you also want to go overseas and never return to your hometown for the rest of your life? ”

Xu Ling shuddered and lowered his head.

On the same day, Sun Ce and others recruited troops in Qingzhou, but they did not recruit satisfactory people for many days. Zhou Yu and Lu Su have known each other for a long time, and took advantage of Lu Su's efforts to report on their work and asked Lu Su for help. Just as the autumn harvest was over, the Scouts were preparing to start their annual trials, and they needed to go to the local military and government yamen to collect ordnance, and Lu Su saw that although these 200 people were young, they were skilled in arching and horses. I thought: Anyway, they need a trial, and these academy soldiers happen to be the top students who have finished the higher education hall (junior high school) and are about to enter the military academy to study, and their trial time this time is exactly one year (internship period), which is a service period in Sun Jian's army. Therefore, a dispatch order was issued for them to go with Zhou Yu.

Originally, this obviously erroneous dispatch order would have been rejected, but these academy soldiers were all top students who thought of themselves quite highly, and they decided to come to the real battlefield to fight for a while, and by the way, they earned some military merits to show off to their companions, so they were sloppy, and even covered up for Sun Ce in the Overseer's Mansion.

Tian Chou returned to Guanghuan to participate in the celebration of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Festival, found this big mistake, and did not dare to inform Liu Bei, so he rode lightly to recover it.

"In that case, you can start the trial here", Tian Chou said dejectedly: "I heard that Lu Zijing has not assigned you weapons, and there will be no weapons and armor that fit here." I will bring your weapons and armor when I turn around, and you are not allowed to go into battle until the ordnance arrives, this is a military order. ”

After speaking, Tian Chou bowed his hand to Sun Jian and requested: "I still hope that Wentai will be completed." ”

Sun Jian had a gloomy face and replied: "To fight or not to fight, it is not up to me, if the Dong thief attacks, I can only do my best." But I promise you that I will never send them into battle if it is possible. ”

Tian Chou sighed: "Now it can only be like this. ”

After pacing a few steps, Tian Chou asked again: "Can Brother Wentai agree, never dismantle them, never use their ordnance, if so, I will be rewarded." ”

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and replied, "Brother Zitai, don't worry, I promise you." They will be led by my eldest son, Sun Ce. ”

Children's weapons and armor are different in length and size from adults, Sun Jian pondered: Even if you want to use it, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it, why don't you agree?

"Okay, the guards come, leave three hundred horses, 100 bows and 100 crossbows, and keep only ten feathered arrows with them, and leave all the rest for them." After Tian Chou finished speaking, he turned around and asked Xu Ling: "Captain Xu, what else do you need?" ”

200 people, leaving 300 horses, still asking what was needed, Sun Jian sensitively found that there was a problem. It's just that the timing is not right, and it's inconvenient to ask.

Xu Ling tilted his head and said with an old face: "Well, since Ma Duo gave 100 horses, let's have another 30 vans, no, 50." In the plains here, if you charge in a long car, it must be very enjoyable. ”

It's exposed, isn't it, it's still a child-Tian Chou sighed in his heart. But in his mouth, he ordered: "The guard officer remembered: 50 cars." ”

"Well...... the military officers here (ordnance repair officers, engineers, auxiliaries) don't know how, let's get 50 auxiliaries."

"50 people is not good, 50 auxiliaries are two battalions, and you are only 200 people - the guard officer notes: 20 auxiliaries."

Time slowly passed in the bargaining between Tian Chou and Xu Ling, and Tian Chou agreed to every request from Xu Ling, and the two sides only had a slight dispute over the quantity. The more this was the case, the more doubts Sun Jian had in his heart.

Soon after, Tian Chou hurriedly said goodbye, the reason being: such a big thing happened, and he must inform his lord as soon as possible.

After Tian Chou left, Sun Jian had no intention of checking the army, and after hurriedly ending the formation, he recruited Lu Yi into the military tent and asked for details. Gradually pick up the fog from the Crusaders.

From the age of five, the sons of Qingzhou Gongmin must report to the Mengxue School, organized by the teacher, teach fighting skills and simple literacy and arithmetic, and when they reach the age of ten, about half of the children will receive a notice - the army notice, they will be as a boy scout, enter a special school to study, and the eliminated children will enter the ordinary school to study.

The Scout School has the same winter and summer vacations every year as the regular school, however, there are trials during each winter and summer vacation, and depending on the age, the teacher accompanies them to live in the field for different periods of time (summer camp and winter camp), and the older you are, the longer you live in the field. After about seven years of Boy Scout Academy, nearly half of the boys were eliminated again. At this point, they enter a year-long final trial (internship).

After the completion of the trial, about one-third of the Scouts will continue to study in military schools. After the graduation ceremony, the rest of the staff are free to choose the direction of their subsequent development. However, all Boy Scouts who pass the final trial have the status of non-commissioned officers, belong to the samurai class, and are issued with a Boy Scout ring and a license to wear the Boy Scout badge for life. This is also the reason why Lu Yi said that "command cannot move" them. Because once they end the trial, Lu Yi is the object of command.

On the other hand, the Boy Scouts who continue their studies at the military academy can become a lieutenant at worst after graduation, and they have spent eight years as classmates with the last eliminated Boy Scouts, and have fought together in the field, and have a deep friendship. Once these eliminators enter the army and treat the military as a profession, they will easily be taken care of by their classmates. Therefore, borrowing Lu Yi's courage, he didn't dare to point fingers at the Boy Scouts casually.

"So, what exactly have they learned over the years, what skills do they have, and how can I use them?" Sun Jian continued to ask.

Lu Yi was silent and didn't say a word.

"Say, what do you say?" Sun Ce asked dissatisfiedly.

"Military secrets, you can't tell."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yi added, "Besides, apart from the Boy Scouts themselves, how can outsiders know what they have learned?" For several years, the waves washed the sand, and those who did not keep secrets and did not follow the rules of the Boy Scouts were brushed off. What I know is what the people who have been eliminated are vaguely revealed. As for what they have learned, even those who have been eliminated do not want to disclose it, and the general does not believe it, so he will ask them in person, and he will never ask them. ”

"The sons of the meritorious people seem to be a group of young master soldiers." Zhou Yu pretended to be sarcastic and said, "No wonder you need to protect it." ”

Lu Yi shook his head and swallowed his words back.

After that, Ren Sunjian, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu teased in every way, and Lu Yi was silent.

"How can it be?" After receiving Liu Bei's reply, Yuan Shao was furious: the conspiracy gathered to discuss: "The Zhuzi dares to be so rude, come to the people, the whole army will pull out the camp, and the troops will be sent to Pingyin City, and after I defeat Lejin, I will attack Qingzhou." ”

Chen Lin was snubbed by Liu Bei, and was finally despised by Liu Bei, eager to take the opportunity to humiliate Liu Bei, so he naturally fanned the flames: "At this moment, it can be said that Liu Bei is the weakest time, the autumn harvest season is coming, and Liu Bei's soldiers have asked for leave. When I came from Qingzhou, I saw many soldiers harvesting in the fields, and if I took this opportunity to raise the three armies, I might be able to attack Qingzhou with one drum. ”

The strategist Feng Ji remained calm, stroked his beard and said: "No, Liu Bei is crazy, but he has always planned and then moved, at this moment, he deliberately provoked the general, there must be a plan." Brother Kong Zhang saw many soldiers harvesting, but did you know that Liu Xuande deliberately let people see it? ”

Yuan Shao was extremely angry: "At this moment, it has entered the end of autumn, the soldiers are short of food and clothing, Liu Bei is guarding the key points, our army has no way to retreat, winter is coming, how is it good?" ”

Feng Ji squinted his eyes and woke up Yuan Shao faintly: "Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang is here, what does the lord have to worry about?" ”

Yuan Shao is not an ordinary stupid, so he didn't feel anything and asked: "Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang is here, what's wrong?" ”

Feng Ji replied: "Our army can go north, cross the Yellow River and enter Hanoi County." Then ......"

Yuan Shao then asked: "Then what?" ”

Feng Ji pointed to the north and said: "Ding Yuan took away all the soldiers of the state, and the state was empty, Zhang Yang participated in our oath, and lingered alone in the pass. After our army enters Hanoi, and then to the north, it can enter and survive in Bingzhou. If you march eastward, along the north bank of the Yellow River, you can avoid Liu Bei's army and reach the plain. Along the way, we can look for Liu Bei's loopholes, take advantage of the situation, and if there are no loopholes, we will enter the plains for the winter. ”

Yuan Shao said hatefully: "Although this plan is good, but it is cheap Liu Bei, and I am still unwilling." ”

Feng Ji's eyes were bricks, and he said: "I still have a plan, which can make Liu Bei." ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and urged: "Speak quickly." ”

Feng Ji smiled slightly: "This plan can be described as: when the tiger swallows the wolf." When winter is coming, all the princes are looking for a place to spend the winter, Qingzhou is rich and coveted. The lord can order as the leader of the alliance: If the army of the princes has no food, they can go to Qingzhou to eat. In this way, among the fourteen princes in the world, there will be bold people who will wave their troops into Qingzhou. If Liu Bei refuses and loses his reputation for righteousness, the princes of the world will rise up and attack him; If Liu Bei accommodates the army of the princes, the princes of the world will surely flock to him and eat him down. At that time, the lord could wait for an opportunity in the plains, and in the name of controlling the princes of all walks of life, he smoothly entered Qingzhou. ”

As soon as this plan came out, everyone applauded.

Yuan Shao immediately repaired the book to Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Later General Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, beckoning them to enter Qingzhou to eat. As for Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, he had a close relationship with Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao was too lazy to pay attention to him. Beihai Taishou Kong Rong is half the master of Qingzhou, and he will definitely not agree with Yuan Shao inviting others to someone else's house for dinner so kindly, so he will not say hello. Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao is dead, and he can't find him even if he wants to greet him. Hanoi is too guarded by Wang Kuang, and he has already annexed his soldiers and horses, so there is no need to greet him.

Cao Cao, what should Cao Cao do?

"Leave him in the Tiger Prison, one: Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Bei as the Qingzhou Mu, and he was in the Tiger Prison just to block Liu Bei's interaction with Dong Thief; Second, after our army withdrew, I am afraid that Xu Rong will take advantage of the situation to pursue, leaving him here, just to block the pursuers. In the field battle, Cao Mengde couldn't beat Xu Rong, but he should be able to defend the city. I heard that after Liu Bei escaped, he left him countless weapons, and the lord never asked him for it, so this time it was just for him to help. Feng Ji suggested.

After receiving the letter, the princes of the Eighth Route were ready to move. Later General Yuan Shu first couldn't bear it and reorganized his armament. After receiving the news that Yuan Shu was preparing to march into Qingzhou, Sun Jian hurried to Luyang to persuade him.

"If you can't go to the general, everyone else can go to Qingzhou, but we can't go to Qingzhou." Sun Jian persuaded.

Yuan Shu was furious, pressed his sword and said: "I have heard that you and Liu Bei have close contacts, do you think that I am not Liu Bei's opponent, do you dare to underestimate me?" ”

"No", Sun Jian explained: "The general is going to pass through Xuzhou, Yuzhou. Tao Qian of Xuzhou, who recently borrowed the power of Liu Bei, annexed 100,000 strong soldiers of Zangba in the East China Sea, and his power was strong. When the general enters Xuzhou, will Tao Qian promise to let you attack his allies?

Take a step back and say, even if the general defeats Tao Qian, the rest is two roads, one is to enter Qingzhou from Langxie County, where Liu Bei's retainer Chen Qun has been painstakingly run for many years, Liu Bei returned to Qingzhou this time is from Langxie, the general has been fighting for many days, and he has entered Langxie with tired soldiers, can he be sure of victory?

The last road is from Taishan County into Qingzhou, where there is Qingzhou Governor Tian Chou personally sat in the battle, Bao Xin echoed left and right, Liu Bei responded to the back, Tao Qian accompanied the south, the general with the power of a state, can fight the two richest states, plus two counties.

Even if the general successfully enters Qingzhou, the soldiers will be exhausted, and he will be able to take advantage of the tigers and wolves of the princes? I hope the general thinks deeply. ”

Yuan Shu hesitated for a long time, got up and took out a glass cup from the package in the room, and said unwillingly: "Wentai, do you think this wine glass is good-looking?" ”

"Good-looking," Sun Jian replied briefly.

Yuan Shu caressed the wine glass lovingly, and said, "3 million yuan (five plant money) is enough to support 10,000 soldiers, of course it will look good." It is said that this wine cup comes from Liu Bei, it is said that there are several such cups in Qingzhou, if we enter Qingzhou, go to Liu Bei's house to find the crystal glass cup, Wentai, I ask you to drink a good 'hero blood', good wine needs a good cup. ”

Sun Jian silently took a step back, and said secretly in his heart: "The elephant burns his body with his teeth, Liu Bei, that's all I can help you, and the rest is up to you." ”
