The spring breeze blows, and everything recovers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather has warmed up, and the air is filled with the smell of vanilla and a thick haze.

On the official road from Jincheng to Guangwu County, more than 1,000 people and horses meandered forward, and the sound of sonorous footsteps and the friction and collision of armor and weapons could be heard in the extreme distance.

Because Zhang Jun has extremely strict requirements for the military discipline array, even if the soldiers have been wet with dew, they still have to rush fully armed. In Zhang Jun's view, marching is also an important way to train soldiers, especially long-distance travel, which can train the perseverance and tenacity of a team.

I think that the rainbow army walked 25,000 miles at the beginning, and in the end all the remaining troops were elite divisions, not only tenacious, but also able to fight to the last man. In today's era when the entire army will collapse if it loses 30% of the battle, it is very important to train the overall perseverance of the soldiers. Although he didn't dare to expect his soldiers to have any lofty faith support, driven by the interests of military merit rewards, it would be enough to reach half of the rainbow army in later generations.

Finally, the dull march was accompanied by a low horn gradually stopped, and countless herald colonels carrying command flags galloped back and forth from front to back. After a while, the leaders of each team ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and let everyone dry their clothes before leaving.

Guangwu City is one hundred and twenty miles west of Jincheng, and this distance can be reached at sunset and dusk according to the current marching speed.

When it comes to the speed of the ancient march, there is no fixed data on how many miles a day can be. Generally speaking, infantry can travel one (thirty miles) a day, and horsemen can travel one hundred miles. But this quantitative value has no practical significance, the march is not an athlete running laps on the playground, the soldiers are all wearing armor, holding weapons, carrying food on their backs, even if equipped with a baggage convoy, but also take into account other factors such as terrain, climate and so on.

The speed of marching in the Wei and Jin dynasties, according to the relevant records in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and the "Book of Jin", there is an example that can be used as evidence to give reference. Meng Da started in Xincheng, Sima Yi set out from Nanyang (i.e., Wan), Xincheng and Nanyang are 1,200 miles away (equivalent to 450 kilometers now), Sima Yi took only eight days to march under the city, an average of 56 kilometers a day (Sima Yi's troops were infantry). It can be seen that in the case of forced marches or smooth roads, foot soldiers can not only walk in a day.

According to the book "Xunzi", the "warriors" of Wei during the Warring States Period were selected according to certain conditions, including one with weapons, armor and three days of military rations, and he must be able to walk "100 miles" (equivalent to 30 kilometers in modern times) in half a day.

In fact, the ancient military generally adopted the formation of horse infantry, and tens of thousands of infantry must have retained several thousand vanguard cavalry. During the Battle of Huayang, Bai Qi led the army to march 800 miles in eight days, an average of 100 miles per day, although there is no historical evidence to prove that the Qin army was cavalry, but it cannot be proved that the Qin army was infantry. In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing rode out of Longxi, "transferred to the battle for six days, crossed the Yanzhi Mountain for more than 1,000 miles, combined with short soldiers, and went down to Gaolan, killed the King of Lan, beheaded the King of Luhou, and the fierce were punished, and the whole armor was ugly, and the prince of Hun and Xiangguo, Du Wei, the first captive of 8,960 levels, and the rest of the slaughter of Tianjin." In this battle, Huo Qu was sick and fought more than 1,000 miles within six days, and the average daily journey should be more than 160 miles.

All in all, the value of the entangled march speed is not realistic, Zhang Jun only knows the rules of a daily rounding up in his heart, but now it is obviously much faster than a daily rounding. Because there is no shortage of horses in Liangzhou, there are many mules. Therefore, when starting from Jincheng, half of the people can be regarded as riding horses, plus the baggage cart can also carry some soldiers, so the speed is obviously much faster.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Jun grabbed the reins and stopped. Behind him, a group of guards also stopped, some went to tie their horses, and some served the lord to unarm.

"Huh・・・・・・" After the iron armor was removed, Zhang Jun let out a long breath, filling his chest with fresh air. At this time, Hu Shuo, who had been drenched in sweat and dew, also came over, he had already thrown his armor to the pawn, and he was shirtless, and took a Hu bed from the baggage camp and placed it behind the lord.

Zhang Jun smiled and said softly: "You fool, go and move the bed for the military advisor and the various military assistants!" ”

Hu Shuo grinned, hugged his fists and said, "No! Then he called a few of his soldiers to the baggage team.

At this time, Song Pei, Han Hu, Suo Sanjie, and Jiang Wan also rushed over one after another, but Zhang Jun's eyes kept staring at Jiang Wan. The already soaked sackcloth was tightly wrapped around Jiang Wan's body, although the curve was not obvious, but because he knew the inside story, Zhang Jun stared at her with a ghostly expression.

Jiang Wan also noticed Zhang Jun's fiery gaze, and a trace of annoyance flashed on his still sallow face. Fortunately, Suo Sanjie, who had a loud voice, shouted: "This ghost weather, wearing cold clothes, taking off the heat, and the whole body is wet・・・・・・"

Han Hu also complained: "This ghost weather, if the cold wind blows at night, the brothers are afraid that they will not be able to stand it・・・・・・"

Song Pei, who has always been elegant, tore open the shirt on his chest and said: "Lord, if you don't rest on the spot, it's not too late to go back to Guangwu County tomorrow." ”

Zhang Jun shook his head, the horsewhip gently tapped his other hand again and again, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't delay, the whole army will be drawn in half an hour, and I will spend the night in Guangwu County today!" ”

When a few people saw that the princess had made up their minds, they didn't say anything more.

Jiang Wan stood a little farther away, because now everyone was all disheveled, and a group of old men got together, and they didn't shy away from it at all, even his cousin Song Pei ignored her existence. Not to mention Hu Shuo, who ran all the way with several Hu beds, the tendons and flesh on his body kept shaking, and the sweat was shining in the faint sunlight・・・・・・

Hu bed is a kind of portable seat, which was introduced to the mainland from the Western Regions at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with simple shape, easy to use, and can be opened and closed. It can be used as a seat when opened, and can be hung when closed, somewhat similar to today's maza. "Customs and Customs" cloud: "Emperor Ling is a good bed, and Dong Zhuoquan and Hu Bing should also be." "Apparently the Hu bed was originally limited to royalty and nobility. In the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Hu bed was widely used in the military field because of its advantages of easy carrying. For example, commanding wars, watching the enemy's situation, marching and resting, and so on, are all inseparable from it.

Zhang Jun motioned for everyone to sit down and said, "I am about to arrive in Guangwu County, and I will come up with a specific charter for how to deal with the matter of the Hao clan dividing up the remnants of the annexed people. ”

Hu Shuo spoke first, he slapped his shiny chest and said, "Lord, if there is anything else to say, you just need to send me to kill the generals to ensure that those rats are obedient!" ”

"No!" Han Hu objected: "The prestige of the lord is far away from the Huns, and that is to resist foreign humiliation." It is unkind to kill one's own people. Are you going to trap the Lord for injustice? ”

"When did I say I was going to frame the lord?" Although Hu Shuo's official position was lower than that of Han Hu, he was not afraid of him at all, and shouted: "You want to talk nonsense, do you want to eat my fist?" ”

Han Hu was confronted in front of him, and he also said angrily: "Dare to commit the following crimes, aren't you afraid of military law?" ”

Who knew that Hu Shuo was also single, and said bluntly: "What's the matter if you're afraid, even if you hit me on the board, I'm not afraid!" ”

When Zhang Jun recruited Hu Shuo on the first day, he knew that this guy was difficult to discipline, and immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, don't retreat!" ”

Hu Shuo lowered his head and stood aside, he was still very afraid of Zhang Jun, don't look at the old man, but the rewards and punishments are clear, and he will never show favoritism, he doesn't have the courage to be presumptuous in front of Zhang Jun.

Song Pei cleared his throat and said, "Zeqing has a plan・・・・・・

"Oh?" Zhang Jun said with a smile: "My son's room, say it quickly!" ”

Song Pei said: "The lord is so calm, and he is expected to have a plan. ”

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "But I have an idea・・・・・・

"Hahaha." Suo Sanjie quipped: "Why don't the lord and Brother Zeqing follow the example of the sages and write them in their hands to see if they think of one?" ”

"Wonderful!" Zhang Jun was also interested, and when he ordered someone to send pen and ink, he and Song Pei each held a pen and wrote a word in their palms.

After a while, the two showed their palms, and everyone came up to look at it, and they all praised: "Sure enough, what you see is the same!" ”
