Chapter 24: Rolling South
Liu Heizi hurriedly asked people to make a banner and ordered the soldiers to wrap their headscarves.
Not to mention, after he did this, the whole team was really like that, and the momentum was really different.
If they used to be like a group of hooligans, now they look like a regular army, at least like the Yellow Turbans and the Red Turbans.
The whole team has a unified mark, plus flags, and finally has a little bit of an army.
At this time, in the surrounding camps, the men and horses of other teams also continued to line up in the camp, and Liu Heizi's part undoubtedly stood out from the crowd, attracting frequent sideways glances from other teams, surprised how Liu Heizi's deployment suddenly changed.
Liu Heizi saw that the appearance of the team had changed a little, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This damn thing, it's really a person who relies on clothes and Buddha relies on gold." This is a little bit of a twist, and it's really a little different. ”
At this time, he couldn't help but have some changes in his heart about Gao Yihuan's reflection, but he didn't expect this gentleman to be really capable.
When Liu Heizi was making flags, other people had already started one after another. At the moment, Liu Heizi was not verbose, and simply said a call in front of everyone, to the effect that he went to the battlefield, and if he escaped from the battle, he would be executed, and if he did not obey the general's order, he would be punished on the spot, and asked the brothers to give him face, otherwise don't blame him Liu Heizi for not being righteous and merciless. When he had given the order, he set the horses out.
Liu Heizi led the troops, and his practical use was still the same as when he was in Chen Liu, using the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and the means of gangs to lead the troops, which was completely different from Gao Yihuan.
Although the two armies are now dressed similarly, there are still some differences in temperament and discipline.
Of course, this difference is only in Gao Yihuan's four sentinels, and the other five sentinels can barely stand in line, and they can't be compared with Liu Heizi's soldiers.
After Liu Heizi finished speaking, he asked the three brigades to lead the team to gather in the south and advance along the official road in the direction of Guide Mansion, while he led two personal soldiers to report to Li Guo, the general of the rear battalion.
Gao Yihuan's team, like Liu Heizi's people, wore cyan turbans, and the flag was also cyan, which was very different from the surrounding Chuang Military Region, which was similar to the homeless people.
The soldiers felt the difference between them and the surrounding ranks, and consciously followed closely the officers with the flags on their backs, not being scattered by the others who were heading south.
At this time, on a hill next to the official road, Li Guo, the general of the rear battalion, wearing an iron armor and an iron helmet, surrounded by dozens of armor soldiers, led nearly 100 generals to stand on the top of the mountain with Yuan Shizhong, the commander of the small Yuan battalion, and watched the crowd all over the mountain rolling south.
Yuan Shizhong is a giant force active in Henan and Huaibei, with more than 100,000 people, wandering between Chuang Ying and Luo Rucai's Cao Ying, and also has a strong independence.
He was originally active alone, but because he was chased and beaten by the official army, after his strength was greatly damaged, he could only go north to attach himself to Li Zicheng.
This time to the south, Yuan Shizhong's more than 100,000 horses were the main force, and Li Guo only led 4,000 elite soldiers from the rear battalion and more than 10,000 second-line men and horses to accompany him.
However, although there are more than 100,000 people in Xiao Yuan's camp, the elite is actually only 1,000 cavalry and two or three thousand infantry troops, and the rest are homeless.
At this time, Li Guo was wearing an iron armor, standing majestically at the top of the mountain, and waves of people on the road walked at the foot of the mountain, including young men, half-centenarians, and many teenage children were also in the queue.
There was nothing uniform on them, and they were dressed in patched cloth garments, with straw sandals on their feet, and some even barefoot, and with sticks, poles, and spears in their hands, and rolled in a mess to the south.
This didn't look like going to war at all, it was like going to a market, but Li Guo also knew what these peripheral people looked like, so he wasn't surprised.
Back then, Cao Wenzhao beat them by thousands and tens of thousands, and the officials and soldiers chased them all over the ground, and it was for this reason that Cao Wenzhao beat them for tens of thousands.
In the past two years, the Chuang army has also noticed this, and has trained five battalions of elite soldiers, but the elite soldiers need money and food, and there are only so many elite soldiers in the Chuang army, and a large number of peripheral men and horses are still the same.
Li Guo watched for a while, but he was no longer interested in continuing to watch, the people and horses on the official road were in a mess, and he was about to go down the mountain to go back to urge the troops of his headquarters to march.
He was just about to turn around, but his eyes were attracted by a group of men and horses in the distance, and many people on the top of the mountain also noticed this team, they were about six or seven hundred people, but they flew more flags than thousands of others.
Seeing this, Li Guo couldn't help but turn his head according to the handle of the knife, and said to Yuan Shizhong on the side: "General Yuan, this is your man?" ”
Yuan Shizhong's elite soldiers, like Li Guo's men and horses, had not yet left the camp, and they were all miscellaneous soldiers from the periphery who left in the morning, he shook his head and wondered: "It's not my people!" ”
At this time, the group of men and horses had almost reached the foot of the mountain, and everyone couldn't help but look a little strange, wondering why a good-looking centaur appeared among the miscellaneous soldiers.
Li Guo couldn't help but wonder for a while when he heard this, it's not yours, is it my person?
He looked down and saw this group of men, most of the officers were carrying flags, and the non-commissioned officers were wrapped in green scarves on their heads, and the team was relatively neat, especially among them, there were so many sentries and horses, each holding weapons, and the military appearance was very neat.
The other troops next to this centaur saw this centaur and couldn't help but make way for them.
A smile leaked from Li Guo's face, and he couldn't help but turn his head and shout loudly: "Which captain's men and horses have passed under the mountain?" ”
Since he is not Yuan Shizhong's person, he can only be his subordinate.
After Liu Heizi arrived at the mountain, he squeezed forward vigorously, and stood behind Li Guo, he also saw his own people and horses walking under the mountain, and his heart was excited.
At this time, he heard Li Guo shout, his body suddenly shook, raised a hand high, and stepped forward to salute excitedly, "Return to the general, that is a lowly man, a lowly trained soldier." ”
If Gao Yihuan saw this guy's face, he would definitely be shocked how could there be such a cheeky person, but now he is leading the troops at the foot of the mountain, but he can't see this scene.
Several lieutenants who were familiar with Liu Heizi were wondering whose deployment it was, when they saw Liu Heizi raise his hand to claim it, their faces couldn't help but be stunned, and they couldn't believe that it was actually Liu Heizi's people.
Who is Liu Heizi, don't they know yet, when will he train in the army?
Several people were puzzled, but they immediately remembered that when Liu Heizi ate wine with them, he often told them a joke, saying that there was a second fool under him who was in charge of the brigade to train the troops, and he didn't sleep every morning, and he didn't know what to run with the soldiers.
Li Guo looked at Liu Heizi and looked up and down, there was a little image, but he couldn't name it.
He had some doubts in his heart, if he had such a talent under his command, how could he not know it?
"You, you, yes~" Li Guo's face was about to remember Liu Heizi's name, but you have been for a long time, but you just don't come out.
Liu Heizi hugged his fists very interestingly and said: "General, the lowly position is Liu Shun, the captain of the Bingding team, and others call me Liu Heizi." ”
Li Guo patted his forehead when he heard this, and he didn't know if he really remembered it, so he pointed at Liu Heizi and laughed loudly: "The general remembers you, and you have a good set of leading troops." ”
Liu Heizi listened to Li Guo's praise, and his heart suddenly blossomed, there were not a hundred or eighty captains like him in the rear camp, and if he wanted to come out, he had to make the main general have an impression.
At this time, the second brother Gao and his party had already walked to the foot of the mountain, and Li Guo suddenly saw a "high" flag among the several flags, and he really remembered it.
A few days ago, Li Yan recommended to him a general manager named Gao Yihuan, saying that he was very talented, but Niu Jinxing said that this person was not even a show talent, so it was not appropriate to promote too much, plus this Gao Yihuan's surname was not good, he had to be surnamed Gao, so his uncle Li Zicheng did not like it, so Li Guo only gave him a head brigade.
That Gao Yihuan seems to be in the Bingding team, and the captain is indeed the Liu Shun in front of him.
Li Guo looked at the people and horses under the mountain, the few posts with high-character flags were obviously more elite than the other posts in the whole team, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, it seems that this person recommended by Li Yan does have some ability.
At this time, Li Guo couldn't help but touch his chin, and suddenly said to Liu Heizi: "Liu Shun, I will see that your team is good, this time I will go south, you will open the way in front of you and open your eyes for the army." ”
When Liu Heizi heard this, his heart trembled, this was a good opportunity to leak his face, and he immediately clenched his fists with great joy, "Humble, lowly and commanded!" ”
