Chapter 235: Mobilization Against Rome
In June, in Upper Valley County, summer is scorching.
After defeating the Yuan army that attacked Juyongguan, the high cadres who attacked Yanmen also retreated, and the north of the state and the west of Youzhou attracted a short period of peace.
At this time, the people in this place are in high morale, the people of Montenegro who moved here last year began to have many young and strong people to seek a new way out after settling down, and now there are several team numbers in Shanggu County, which is also added by Gongsun Zhi later, such as the Black Mountain Foot Cavalry, the Youyan Army, the Xiliang Army, the Wolf Cavalry, and the White Wolf Righteous Servant is being formed, except for the Wolf Cavalry and the Black Mountain Cavalry are elite soldiers who can ride horses selected from various armies, the rest of the recruitment points are overcrowded.
“.…… The number is the formation of an army. Gongsun Zhi and Li Ru walked on the city wall, looking at the long queue of recruits and garrisons below, the summer sky was dazzling, and the former pressed his hand on the battlement, "If necessary, erect their own flags for each team, except for the Chinese character flag, and no longer raise the surname of the general in the future, otherwise it will be too easy for the enemy to know who is leading the team." ”
Li Ru frowned: "Such a change, will it make the generals below a little dissatisfied, lord, there is one more thing, that is, in the future, the generals of all parties are not allowed to recruit troops privately, and they will all concentrate on Shanggu County, if the war is tight, it will be inconvenient." ”
"It's inconvenient but it has to be convenient, at first you will be uncomfortable, there will be complaints, but after a long time, you will get used to it." Gongsun Zhi pressed his hands against the wall, his tall body was heroic and mighty, he looked down and laughed: "The number flag is the soul of an army, and the soldiers will have a sense of belonging." ”
Immediately, he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "....... Unified recruitment, and then training, education and then transfer to the locality, will also play a certain role in preventing these generals from sitting big in the future, after all, people have selfish intentions, if I am on the side, it is okay, if it is the sole leader of the party, it is inevitable that there will be no other thoughts, an army, the upper generals have complex thoughts, but the soldiers' ideas are simple, as long as they belong to me, loyal to my Gongsun Zhi, even if the general has a crooked heart, he does not dare to act rashly. ”
He looked at the middle-aged scribe and raised his fingers.
"Not only that, with the increase in merchants, workshops have also been built one after another, this is the foundation, in the future, the weapons, war horses, and grain needed in the army must be supplied by this side according to the head, and the weapons and war horses will be equipped with double spare parts, but the grain must be taken care of."
His voice was not high, but his tone was firm, "It's not that my Gongsun Zhi is harsh, Wen You, you see, this border, except for Jiuyuan County, has been connected together, and the family business is big, so I have to be careful every step, I don't want to wander around like a horse thief in the future." ”
"This is our home now...... It is also your Li Wenyou's home, and there will be no way back when you embark on the journey. ”
Li Ru pursed his lips and nodded, then bowed down and arched his hand heavily towards the figure next to him: "The lord has taken great pains to find a background for me and others who have no way out, and Confucianism is grateful." ”
"Don't be grateful too soon, it's just a brief peace." Gongsun Zhi helped him up, "In a few years, maybe it will be time to test us, at that time, we will face a behemoth, lose, we can only continue to rush around on the grassland to grab food." ”
In the brilliant skylight, the breeze slowly blew to bring a little coolness, and the noisy voices of people under the city wall buzzed to come, and on the north side of the city wall where the two of them were, a fast rider stepped on the dust and smoke from far and near, and then entered the city.
Li Ke received this urgent report from the clouds, quickly ran up to the city and handed it over to Gongsun Zhi, stopped the words he continued to speak, he unfolded and looked at it, the original smile became expressionless, even though he was ready to fight with the Roman army, but the moment he read the information, his mood became indifferent.
"Lord...... The Great Qin soldiers and horses fought with General Lian? Li Ru noticed the change in Gongsun Zhi, and probably guessed it.
"It's a fight......"
Gongsun Zhi threw down the cloth, turned around and strode down the city wall, and constantly gave orders to Li Ke behind him and the heralds on both sides of the city as he walked.
"Send a fast horse to inform Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan of Daijun to lead the troops to garrison Dingyang, replace Huaxiong and Gao Sheng, who are closest to that side, and let them go to support Yunzhong first, and then send people to the wolf cavalry camp to beat drums and gather generals, and let Yan Rou and Zhao Yun lead the cavalry to come and assemble, Pan Feng and Cao Ang are injured and stay in Shanggu County, and the military division can accompany them?"
"Confucianism also wants to see what the Great Qin army looks like." Li Ru got into the carriage with him, and he continued: "Since the war in the clouds has broken out, then Ruyi should send his officials to Xiliang Ma Teng for a trip. ”
Gongsun Zhi knelt down with his fists clenched, nodded, opened the curtain and instructed the herald: "In addition, inform the Southern Xiongnu to go to Bei and Suonu to each have 5,000 bows and cavalry, and join me in Dingyang." ”
When everything was arranged, he said to the soldier who was driving: "Go to the barracks." ”
The wheels rolled and headed out of the city.
****************************
Mansion, under the eaves, Cai Yan gently shook the cradle and hummed a song to coax his son to sleep peacefully, Stephanie, who was lifted from the grounding order, looked at the mother and son with her chin in boredom, and Gerald competed with Dian Wei in the courtyard on the other side, and after a while, he was thrown to the ground and ate a mouthful of dust.
Boom!
Knock knock!
Knock Knock Knock –
The drum sounded faintly in the sky, and the burly figure lying on the ground got up, and saw the giant man on the opposite side hurriedly return to the house to get a pair of iron halberds, and rushed out of the courtyard. Gerard hurriedly followed, shouting, "What's that sound?" Canon...... Wei...... Ran with the voice. ”
Cai Yan got up and looked at the blue sky, hugged the sleeping and sweet child, and said softly: "It's the sound of war." Then, he entered the house and instructed Xianglian, who was dozing off, to "Go and prepare the armor of the husband for the expedition." ”
When the villain ran away, Stephanie probably guessed something, arched her hand at the woman's back, pulled her brother and ran towards the courtyard where her group was sitting, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Holy City, war is coming-"
In the distance, outside the city, Yan Rou wiped the blade, inserted it into the scabbard with a bang, took off the helmet on the shelf, and turned around and walked to the tent curtain: "Old lead, don't lose your face in the Black Mountain!" ”
The iron helmet pressed the top of his head, turned over his horse, and glanced at a black wolf lying on the ground not far away, Yan Rou whipped the horsewhip: "Black Mountain ride, come with me!" ”
The two thousand horsemen flapped their weapons, moved slowly, and then accelerated out of the garrison, galloped across the field, and headed for the huge barracks in the center.
Facing him, the young general riding a white war horse looked at him with a gun, nodded silently, raised the hand holding the gun, and only about three thousand cavalry behind him slowly stopped the horse's hooves, and the formation looked a little messy, but the faces were full of spirit, and it was the white wolf who had just been formed.
"Commander Zhao, let's enter the account together."
As an old man, but for this new general with excellent martial arts, he was also quite polite, Zhao Yun said less, and after arching his hand, the two walked into the big tent side by side, Gongsun Zhi, who was dressed in regular clothes, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw someone come in, he pressed his palm and let them sit down.
"A few days ago, I talked about the entry of the soldiers and horses of Daqin into the Han land, the war over there started half a month ago, and the fast horses only arrived today, I don't doubt the ability to recruit, but they plus the county soldiers are only 10,000 people, and there are 20,000 on the Daqin side, and the other party can go on a long-distance expedition here, and it is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag."
Gongsun stopped talking, and slapped it on the table: "I didn't want to fight this battle, but the Great Qin people killed the people of the Han land and splashed the blood of the Han people, so I want to seek justice. ”
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and two figures came in, both dressed up, Cao Ang still had a scar on his face that had not yet healed, he clenched his fists and shouted: "Thorn Shi, why don't you let me go, I can fight again." ”
"Brother, continue to go." Gongsun Xu took a step forward with his fists clenched: "Expelling foreigners is the father's ambition, as a son, how can you ignore it, please let my brother fulfill it." ”
"Gongsun Xu can go, Cao Ang must stay." Gongsun looked at the two of them and pointed at Cao Ang: "Your injuries have not healed, and you have lost too much blood, and if you travel a long way, before you reach the place, you will have to die of weakness, the battle in Liaodong, you fought very well, I have sent a letter to your father, tell him that he has a brave son." ”
Cao Ang closed his eyes, stomped his feet vigorously, arched his hands and left, and went out of the curtain to see Pan Feng holding an axe next to him, and glared at him: "Why don't you go in together." ”
“.…… Do things with your brains. He patted his head, "It's definitely not okay for you to mess around like this, look at me." ”
As he spoke, he got in, took two breaths, and came out again, glancing at the figure next to him with a disgraced face: "I don't have a good brain today, so I'll come back another day." ”
After that, the two of them were still muttering that the military discussion had ended, and when Gongsun Zhi and the generals went out of the camp to see the two of them, they told them to be optimistic about Shanggu County, and they drove back home.
Gongsun Zhi sat in the room holding Cai Yan's hand, and was rarely silent for a long time.
"It's time to go on the march."
"Hmm." She patted the back of her husband's hand.
