Chapter 323: Ru Ziwen Hires
The next day, there was a rare cool breeze in Jiangxia in summer, which made many soldiers prefer to wander out of the camp tent rather than hide in the camp tent or even in the shade of the camp to escape the heat.
The Han army camp, the Jingzhou soldiers who came and went lazily wandered, but when most people walked to the camp of the Yizhou army, it was a little strange, because the territory of the Yizhou army was obviously less than a lot of people, and many camp tents were empty.
Also, no matter how powerful that relative is, he has to bow his head and walk when he reaches the boundary of Jingzhou, otherwise he will be excluded. Obviously, the deliberate difficulty of the military meeting in Fuquan yesterday has long been reported, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, especially this kind of verbal conflict similar to the confrontation between the bigwigs, and it is the news that those low-level soldiers are willing to hear.
The news of the shortage of Yizhou troops in the camp soon spread throughout the Han army camp, and just when the high-level of the Jingzhou army was wondering what Fuquan wanted, he had already taken his soldiers to dig a pit in a hidden forest ten miles outside the camp.
Since he decided to dig the tunnel, of course Fuquan will not procrastinate, and after announcing that he is going to dig the tunnel, he will discuss the strategy with his subordinates. After all, digging tunnels is not something that can be decided immediately after saying a word, not to mention that this is the first time Fu Quan has done it in this life, and even he does not have a general with experience in this area. is absolutely undesirable.
In the end, none of the generals under his command were suitable for this position, and when Fu Quan himself was ready to give up this position because there were no suitable generals, Guan Yu proposed to find the general surnamed Wen who proposed to attack the city with the method of tunnels, Fu Quan's eyes lit up, and he directly led people to look for him at night.
Now, the commander of more than 3,000 barbarian soldiers in the woods to dig tunnels is the general surnamed Wen, some acquaintance, Fu Quan learned that this person is called Wen Shang, that is a Sima in Wan County, Nanyang County, Jingzhou, this time the court ordered the soldiers of Jingzhou County to join forces to quell the chaos, and was called to bring troops to come.
Of course, this Wen Shang heard that Fu Quan asked him to help dig the tunnel at the beginning, although he was a little moved in his heart, after all, the success rate of this thing is very high, and it is a great achievement to do it, but he refuses to do it.
There is no other reason, now the discerning people know that Zhao Kai and Fuquan are not dealing with Jingzhou, how dare generals like Wen Shang who are messing around with Zhao Kai dare to offend their own officials, in fact, the entire Jingzhou military group is like this now, and they dare not have too much contact with the Yizhou army. However, there are not no anomalies, that Lingling Taishou Yang Xuan, who has always been at odds with Zhao Kai, is not like this, he has a secret meeting with Fuquan every day, and I don't know what the two talked about all day, it is said that Zhao Kai lost a lot of temper with the strategists around him for this, but after all, because he didn't have Yang Xuan's handle in his hand, he couldn't help him.
When Fu Quan first saw Wen Shang's appearance, he knew in his heart that he must have the ability to dig tunnels, and after observing his hesitant face, he knew what he was afraid of in his heart after a little thought.
It's just that the mountain people have their own clever plans, and Fu Quan has his own conclusion about this in his heart, Wen Shang is afraid of Zhao Kai who is now in charge of him, after all, there is a saying in later generations, the current official is in charge now, isn't it? Unless it is Emperor Liu Hong who comes in person, this Wen Shang will not be Zhao Kai, otherwise no matter who comes, it is not as useful as Zhao Kai's order in Wen Shang's eyes, and after all, even if others come with great power, they can only order him and restrict Zhao Kai for a while, but as long as that person leaves, Zhao Kai, as the emperor of the local soil, does he know how many ways to deal with Wen Shang, so this Wen Shang may be ordered to help him because of Fu Quan's family identity?
However, even if Wen Shang insisted, when Fu Quan's tongue was all the words, and promised that the war was over, he helped him admonish him in front of the cavalry general Song Yu, recruited him into Beijing, and followed Song Yubo to a good future, this Wen Shang finally couldn't resist the temptation in Fu Quan's words, gave in and compromised, and dragged the soldiers and horses of the deputy Sima Management Headquarters early this morning, and went out of the camp to help Fu Quan plan to dig tunnels.
The reason why Wen Shang agreed so resolutely was actually very simple, because Fu Quan introduced him to a good backer that Zhao Kai didn't dare to provoke, and became today's son-in-law, his cousin Che Cavalry General Song Yu. With the current power of the Song family, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhao Kai does not dare to provoke them at all, and even the eunuch forces behind him do not dare to provoke Song Yu easily.
The worries have been lifted, and even Fu Quan promised to help him get an official and a half position in the forbidden army, what reason does this Wen Shang have, is that he knows that he has a good chance of promotion in the local county soldiers and in the forbidden army, and the benefits are better, not to mention that Wen is still waiting for Emperor Guangwu Township unless there are great changes in the world, there will be no chaos at all.
In the woods, Wen Shang surveyed around, and roughly arranged where to dig the tunnel, and at the same time told the precautions for digging the tunnel. And Fuquan is also a strict order to the generals and soldiers under his command to be careful, after all, it is an underground earthwork excavation, even if there are so many precision instruments in later generations, scientific methods of excavation, or frequent accidents, not to mention in the Han Dynasty, he doesn't want to really lose countless soldiers and horses in vain, after all, his subordinates are considered elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and the loss of a Fuquan is very distressing.
After understanding, Fu Quan knew that he was also a half-life soldier and had a lot of military experience, but this digging tunnel was a skill he taught himself in the army. After all, although this Wen Shang looks burly in appearance, but the martial arts are not very top-notch, compared with the brute force of the fierce man and the like, Wen Shang advocates the wisdom of the battlefield, so he still loves to read military books since he was a child, and loves to study all kinds of tactics in the military books, and this method of digging tunnels is Wen Shang's own usual research.
"General Wen, according to the general's opinion, how long will it take for this tunnel to be completed quickly?" With Fuquan's order, the soldiers and horses in the woods acted in turn, and the mighty tunnel excavation project began, thinking that he was also pressed for time, Fuquan asked Wen Shang, for him, the sooner the tunnel excavation was successful, the more advantageous, and naturally attached great importance to it.
"Don't panic, this place is about more than 20 miles according to Exian County, the last general has calculated the excavation time with Wu'er Wenpin, if you dig according to this 3,000 soldiers and horses, day and night, no accident, you can arrive within three days."
After Wen Shang finished speaking, Fu Quan didn't listen to it completely at all, but exclaimed: "Ru Ziwen is hired? ”
