Chapter 50: The Way of the Soldiers

As early as August, in the garrison camp of the Yulin Army, Fang De had already received the news of the army, but what he didn't expect was that the imperial court would hand over the command of the 3,000 Yulin Army to a prince who was only seventeen years old.

Militaristic events, such a child's play!

It is about Qin Bo's decision, and Fang De also dares to be angry and dare not speak! However, what should be done is still done, the main army of the Yulin Army of 3,000 has all returned to its position, and the war armament and grain and grass have been transported to the south first.

And today, the commander of the Yulin Army, Gongzi Yan, the sixth son of Ying, is also standing on the general platform of the garrison barracks, and more than 3,000 soldiers are standing in front of him.

Different from the simplicity at the beginning of the founding of the army, more than 1,000 craftsmen in the foundry rushed to make it day and night, and these 3,000 regular soldiers and soldiers were already fully armoured. A spear and long knife pierced the sky, and the killing aura was fierce.

"Any idea what we're going to do?!"

The first thing this Gongziyan said was this, Fang De didn't expect it.

"Go to war!" Three thousand soldiers and soldiers responded in response.

In unison, the voices came like a tide.

Lin Yuyan shook his head: "I can't say that this answer is wrong...... But what I want to tell you is that we are indeed going to fight, but we are also protecting our relatives and protecting the Shanglin Garden that we have not easily built! ”

"If the southern border is broken, the enemy army will drive straight into the forest and force the forest garden, and when the time comes, our relatives will be their slaves, beaten and scolded, without food and clothing, tell me in your loudest voice, are you willing!"

"I don't want to!"

This time, the voice of the sergeant of the Three Thousand Feather Forest Army seemed to have pierced the sky, and the answer was categorical.

"Good! This time, in order to protect our home and protect our relatives, we picked up the sword in our hands and went to the south to fight the enemy. ”

"Today, in order to avoid worries, I promise each of you that if you die on the battlefield, your father and mother will be the father and mother of Shanglin Yuan, and your wives and children will also be raised by Shanglin Yuan, and Shanglin Yuan will have the last stone of grain. They will never go hungry! ”

"Whew...... Whew...... Oh! ”

Hearing this, these soldiers also howled.

Looking at the screaming soldiers in the audience, Fang De didn't expect that this Gongziyan's morale-boosting words were so obvious.

"Training Captain Fang De!" Lin Yuyan nodded.

Fang De stepped forward and responded: "The end will be!" ”

"This son will let you be the general of the regular army camp, and he will lead three thousand regular troops to the south and enter Chungling!"

Fang De clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

September 18, the southern suburbs of Wancheng.

Uncle Qin and many courtiers sent the [Southern Army] here.

The [Expeditionary Southern Army] is based on the 5,000 patrol battalion in the Wancheng Wangcheng Guard, and its commander is the general Sheng Nong, who is directly in charge of the patrol battalion, and the rest such as the eldest son Lin Yuren, Gongzi Xin and Lin Yuyan are nominally subject to the control of this [Commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army].

In this ceremony, Lin Yuyan did not come forward, today because Wanchengcang donated 500,000 stones, Han Kui, an upstart in the court, often accompanied Qin Bo.

"What about the six sons of Lone?!"

It seems that Lin Yuyan and the Shanglin Yuan army were not found, and Uncle Qin also asked.

Han Kui replied beside Uncle Qin: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan has already led the Yulin Army of Shanglin Yuan to the south a few days ago. ”

When Uncle Qin heard this, he touched his beard and said: "The sixth son of the orphan still hasn't changed, Han Qing, when Great Qin and the Jin Han clan went to war, this tiger was only ten years old, and he stayed in the palace and didn't leave the cabinet, so he took a few royal brothers to make trouble and shouted that he wanted to go to the battlefield...... Lone almost handed over a few of their sons to the Zongfu at that time! ”

"Haha......" Han Kui also laughed twice.

"Han Qing, how about you take a look at this southern expedition?" Uncle Qin asked.

Hearing this, Han Kui thought for a while and said, "You have to be relieved, you have to believe that there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"Lone is not just a guide, but a ......" Qin Bo wanted to speak and stopped.

Han Kui pretended to understand just now, and said, "Kui still advises you to believe that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain......

"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! ”

Suddenly, the news of the departure of the army sounded under the city wall, and many people's eyes looked over.

"Play music, beat the drums!"

A herald said so loudly.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums and trumpets sounded.

Qin Bo put his hands on the city wall and watched the departure of this southern army.

The southern suburbs gathered nearly 10,000 troops to conquer the south, leaving one by one, General Sheng Nong led the 5,000 soldiers of the patrol battalion Finally, the war horse neighed, Sheng Nong strangled the war horse under his crotch, and after saluting Qin Bo, he turned his horse and ran to the south.

At this time, Lin Yuyan had already rushed to the destination of the Yulin Army's garrison - Chungling.

He also knew the tactics of the imperial court's conquest of the southern army this time, and although the prince of Deng Guo was dedicating the map of Deng State to Daqin, he may have given Daqin a handle that the entire territory of Deng State could take for himself.

However, Great Qin was extremely conservative about the conquest of the Southern Army, and only wanted to keep the southern border of Great Qin, and did not have any expectations for whether he could recover the land of Deng.

Such an attitude made Lin Yuyan feel that he must not go to the center of the front line of the southern border defense line [Fan Di], where he would be restrained by the two generals Sheng Nong and Guan Ning, and he would not be able to let go at all.

Lin Yuyan asked the Yulin Army to be stationed in Chungling, which made Fang De, who currently thinks that the Yulin Army is a veteran of the border army, can not understand, and on the first day that the Yulin Army arrived in Chungling, Fang De entered Lin Yuyan's garrison tent.

"Your Highness, right now, General Fan Di's [Xia Shui Xiangling] plan has lost its time, and Fan Di is now short of major generals, why don't we go to support Fan Di?!"

Lin Yuyan sat in the center of the big tent, with a map that had just been drawn in front of him.

Hearing Fang De come in and ask such a question, Lin Yuyan also raised his head and motioned for Fang De to sit down: "General Fang, look at the map of the southern border that has just been drawn. ”

Fang De also took advantage of the situation to sit down, looked at the map on the table, and didn't find anything strange.

Lin Yuyan reminded: "General Fang, tell me about the topographical location of this Lingling. ”

Fang De glanced at the map, during this period of time, as a veteran of the border army, he already had a simple understanding of the topography and location of Chungling.

At that moment, Fang De opened his mouth and came: "This Lingling is the eastern mountainous area of the southern border of Great Qin, with a population of only a few thousand, and Tongbai Mountain in the south, and there is no war here, the last general really can't understand what the garrison is here for?" ”

Lin Yuyan shook his head, but continued to ask, "What about the other side of Tongbai Mountain?" ”

Fang De thought for a moment and said, "Yun Mengze of the old Chu State? ”

Lin Yuyan nodded heavily, "Well, it's indeed Yun Mengze, General Fang, I already sent someone to contact the woodcutter hunter in the mountains here a month ago and drew such a map of the north and south of Tongbai Mountain." ”

Fang De is worthy of being a veteran of the border army, and as soon as he heard Lin Yuyan say this, he immediately asked: "Does Your Highness mean to cross Tongbai Mountain?" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Yuyan responded, then took his charcoal pen, drew a line on the map, and said to Fang De: "To the south of Tongbai Mountain, to the north of Yunmengze, there was an ancient country, called the Tang Kingdom, which was the royal family surnamed Ji when Ji Zhou was first built, and was later destroyed by the powerful Chu State, and a group of people moved north to the southern border of Daqin, that is, the area of Chungling. ”

"Through these old Tang people, the scout battalion has discovered an ancient road that runs through Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze's [Ancient Tang Road], which can reach Suiguo, where the [Beiwang Army] of the Northern Expedition of Jing Kingdom is located today!"

Suiguo?!

Fang De was surprised, he really didn't expect this His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan to be so bold, but after thinking about it seriously, he shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not, it is said that there are tens of thousands of people in the [Northern King Army], and the three thousand people of the Yulin Army alone are probably hitting stones with eggs!" ”

Lin Yuyan shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he changed his words to Fang De and said: "General Fang, with the three thousand soldiers of the Yulin Army, it is indeed nonsense to want to defeat the Northern King Army, but it is not very difficult to hold back the Northern King Army. ”

"General Fang, to be honest, the main forces of the Xinye Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army have already gathered in Fandi, and our three thousand people go or don't tell the truth, there is not much difference between the confrontation with the [Shouwang Army] of Jing State, but we have to turn over Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze, and drag the [Beiwang Army], is it relieving a large part of the pressure on Fandi?!"

Hearing this, Fang Dezhen had no way to refuse the prospect of Gongzi Yan's promise, as long as he dragged the [Northern Wang Army] and prevented him from going to Deng Guo and [Shou Wang Jun] to make peace, it would definitely be much more effective than going directly to Fan Di.

"His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, how sure are you that Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze will be inserted?!"

Listening to Fang De's question, Lin Yuyan also knew that Fang De had been moved.

"Seventy percent sure, now that I have found the [Ancient Tang Dao], I am sending people to know the way these days, but now it is autumn, and the [Beiwang Army] will rush to Deng after replenishing the autumn grain in Suiguo."

Fang Dedao: "Now that the decision has been made, without further ado, we should act as soon as possible!" ”

"So, does General Fang agree with Yan's approach?"

Fang De's face was embarrassed, and he said: "During this time, I have some understanding of His Highness's governance of Shanglin Yuan, and now [Horizontal Tongbai Mountain Yunmengze] has made the last general even more determined." ”

"When?" Lin Yuyan was a little curious.

"If Your Highness has practiced the military family, he must be a treacherous soldier!"
