Chapter 326: Competitive
Early the next morning, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing brought Liu Chan, and after Liu Bei was revealed, they brought 200 people each from Huben and Yulin Erwei, and 100 people from the prince's guard as Gong Guards.
But said that Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were married, at this moment the spring breeze was really proud, along the way to visit the scenery, talk and laugh, from time to time bursts of laughter, when the spring outing in general, I didn't notice that Liu Chan, who loves to laugh on weekdays, had a slight wrinkle on his forehead, didn't speak, and changed his fun appearance in the past.
The group of horses and horses flew over, but it only took an hour to come to the gate of the camp.
In front of the camp gate, a group of soldiers dressed in crimson robes and armed with spears guarded closely, and as soon as they saw the large group of men and horses marching in, they all held their spears flat, stepped forward, and shouted:
"The barracks are heavy, and people stop coming!"
Looking at his cautious demeanor and vigilant movements, he actually looks like a sharp man.
Zhang Bao glanced at Guan Xing, his eyes were full of surprise:
"Didn't you say that the camp was full of newly recruited farmers? Why is this group of gatekeepers like old men? β
Guan Xing shook his head and replied, "Little brother doesn't know...... Let's see. β
As he spoke, he grabbed the horse's belly, took two steps forward on his horse, and shouted in the air:
"I'm Yulin Wei Guan Xing, the sworn brother of your General Jiang, and I'm here to visit today, why don't you open the door quickly?"
He had thought that after reporting himself to his home like this, the guards would open the door to greet him.
At the other end of the camp gate, a soldier dressed as a small leader did not buy it, but shouted through the fence: "Does the general have a token?" Rong Xiao went in and announced. β
Guan Xing became interested all of a sudden, took out a token from his arms, and threw it in: "This is the Yulinwei token, your general will know it at a glance." β
The leader answered, took it from afar, held it in his hand, and ran towards the camp with a puff of smoke.
Liu Chan suddenly took two steps forward and stood side by side with Guan Xing, and finally showed an interested look on his plain face:
"It is rumored that General Jiang is good at governing the army, and when I saw it this time, I really had some meaning from Zhou Yafu's fine willow camp."
Guan Xing thought about it, and finally shook his head:
"The minister doesn't believe it, even if Zhou Yafu is reincarnated, it will be difficult to train a group of farmers into a group of tigers and wolves in just a few months, hmm...... I'm afraid that if I didn't choose a few people who can be cultivated to act as a faΓ§ade, the ordinary soldiers in the camp may not all be like this. β
Liu Chan smiled and was silent, obviously not believing Guan Xing's words.
Zhang Bao was fair, and when he saw this, he stepped forward immediately, and said awe-inspiringly:
"Anguo is right...... Without three or five years of hard work, it is impossible to train elite soldiers and horses. If His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, the ministers and others brought Tiger Ben and Yulin Erwei to come with them today, and after a while, on the school field, the two sides of the people and horses arrived close and stood in two columns, and when they compared, they knew the good and the bad. β
As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, after all, Hu Ben and Yulin Erwei were rare elites in Yizhou, and all armies were unreachable, so how could they compare Jiang Weixin's newly trained soldiers and horses with the elites of these two battalions?
Needless to say, martial arts are only more than marching in line, and there is also the meaning of bullying the small with the big, Zhang Bao regretted it, and was about to change his words.
Liu Chan had already clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful, I am full of confidence in General Jiang, and I will compare the two armies in a while." β
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing glanced at each other, and they all secretly said that it was bad, and for a while, I was afraid that Bo Yao would lose face in front of the prince.
While he was talking, a slender young military general in the camp was striding towards the meteor, and before anyone arrived, a hearty laugh came first:
"Haha, what kind of wind blew the prince and the two brothers into my camp!"
It was the commander-in-chief of the new army, Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyo.
Liu Chan, Zhang Bao, and Guan Xing also laughed when they heard the sound, and quickly stepped forward to greet each other.
Jiang Wei and the three of them haven't seen each other for several months, and this time they met, they greeted each other for a while in a comfortable mood, and asked about Zhang Bao's condition, Zhang Bao only said okay, don't worry.
After the greetings, Jiang Wei smiled and turned around to welcome everyone into the camp.
Liu Chan, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and his generals rushed into the camp, all the way, but saw that the camp was complete, the camp was clean and tidy, and the materials were stacked in an orderly manner.
It is a solemn atmosphere of strict security and strict management of the army.
Guan Xing couldn't help but be amazed: "If you only talk about order, although you are a newly established military camp, it is comparable to Yu Linwei. β
Liu Chanqi said: "Wasn't Yu Linwei also governed by General Jiang back then? What's so strange about being comparable? β
When Guan Xing heard this, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
At that time, the sound of drills came from the distance in the direction of the school field, and he swallowed his saliva and proposed: "I'll wait and go to the school field to see what kind of martial arts Boyo is teaching." β
Jiang Wei had nothing to do, and happily led everyone to the school.
After several months of replenishment, the number of the new army has reached 1,700, and the training is mainly led by Zhang Wei and Zhao Guang.
In the school field, I saw that the soldiers were either pinching short blades, or holding spears, or holding shields, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they formed a phalanx, sweating like rain, practicing martial arts.
Every time the soldiers cut out a knife or a shot, it must be accompanied by the sound of shouting and killing, at this time, hundreds of people shouted together, the smoke and dust in the school field rolled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing were originally determined that no matter how much Jiang Wei's new army trained, it would definitely not be as good as the already elite Tiger Ben and Yulin Erwei, but after this cursory glance, they knew that the new army was progressing rapidly, and both of them were shocked.
But after careful observation, I found that the new army was all in unison, but there was a lack of courage and spirit in the wielding of weapons, and it was probably that this group of soldiers had just enlisted, only training, no actual combat, and had never seen the real battlefield at all.
This is the biggest difference between elite veterans and recruits, and it is also the gap between victory and defeat.
Jiang Wei didn't care, and took the three of them around the circle, and in a corner, he saw several wrestlers practicing a piece of equipment that was nearly two pieces long, with a thick bamboo body as the bottom, the head of the weapon was as sharp as a spear head, and there were several layers of multi-bladed branches at the end of the machine.
Liu Chan was curious, and asked after a pause, "What is this?" β
Such a strange thing is naturally a wolf. Jiang Wei knew everything, and immediately introduced the wonderful use of the wolf, which attracted Liu Chan's amazement.
Guan Xing learned the origin of his family after all, observed for a while, and suddenly asked:
"This thing is useful to say, but the size of the weapon is too large to be transported, and if it is used on the plains or in pursuit battles, I am afraid that it will get in the way."
Jiang Wei said with a smile: "The second brother's words are reasonable, the reason why the younger brother uses it is because the soldiers are newly recruited, and they have not seen blood, so it is inevitable that they will lack courage." When the two armies are fighting, our side can effectively block the enemy's strength by virtue of the wolf's strength, and the soldiers can rely on it and increase their courage. β
After a pause, he added:
"Thirdly, this thing is good for positional warfare in narrow terrain, and it is indeed not good for open areas. However, the original intention of the younger brother to set up this new army was to deal with the large families of Nanzhongyi. The mountains and forests are dense there, and the formation cannot be displayed at all, which is where this thing comes in. β
"This is the 'adapt to local conditions and guide according to the situation' in the art of war." Guan Xing listened and couldn't stop bowing.
At this time, Zhang Bao's face was complicated, and he raised his eyes and asked:
"Yesterday, I was in the lord's mansion, and I just heard that Deng Fang, the governor of the capital of Yu, died of illness, and the chaos in Nanzhong was about to start...... It's just, Boyo you... How do you know that there will be a war in Nanzhong, do you have the ability to predict the future? β
When Jiang Wei heard the news of Deng Fang's death, his heart was suddenly shocked, and in this way, the time to go south had finally arrived!
His chest was like thunder, but his face was unwavering, and he patiently explained:
"The big Yi people in Nanzhong do not pay attention to faith and righteousness, and they have always rebelled and surrendered. The court has not used thunderous means, and he may not be willing to submit sincerely. In the younger brother's opinion, before the Northern Expedition, this battle was unavoidable, and it would come sooner or later, so he made up his mind and prepared early! β
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing said in their hearts when they heard this, this battalion of the new army may not be as good as the elite of Huben and Yulin, but the general of the new army has a vicious vision and a commanding height, but it is not comparable to the two of them.
