Chapter 48 Pre-War Preparations
Zhao Debiao looked at the Zhao family in front of him and the countless tenants who came around, and said loudly, "Today, I am waiting to destroy the Cui family, and I still have a little weakness. But the hundreds of bones in the backyard told me I was doing the right thing! Today, I hereby swear that from now on, my Zhao family will be kind to tenants and slaves. Immediately send someone back to each tenant to send five taels of silver and one stone of grain. The servants were each given five taels of silver, and the former dead and wounded slaves and tenants were compensated thirty taels per family. ”
Waving his hand to make the Zhao family stand back, looking at the black crowd that surrounded him. Zhao Debiao hesitated, and then Zhao Yufan came up and whispered quietly. Zhao Debiao smiled, and he said loudly to the tenants, "Today, if you destroy the Cui family with me, you have committed a capital crime." If the government investigates it in the future, you will inevitably die! If you are willing to join my Zhao family, my Zhao family will treat you well! ”
A man in the crowd raised his fist and said, "I'm willing to join the Zhao family!" People reacted and shouted, "I do, I do!" Zhao Tubiao said, "Okay, I'll add some Zhuang Ding later, but there is someone who is willing!" Countless men raised their hands.
After resting for a day in Cui's manor, Zhao Debiao led people to the Lujia manor forty miles away, and at this time he already had more than 3,000 villages. Another night of scuffle to capture the manor, and his farms were increased.
The entire Hebei family ushered in a catastrophe, and countless robbers appeared overnight. It took more than half a month for the killing to gradually stop. And Lulong Town in the north did not react because of the suddenness of the incident. When they came to their senses, the family had already strengthened their defenses and put up desperate resistance, and the result was that the family furniture of the Haoqiang Domain Town suffered heavy casualties.
Han Wen sent another letter to Li Jie, the content of which was that the plan had deviated, and the number of troops greatly exceeded expectations, and Li Jie was asked to prepare as soon as possible. Li Jie smiled after reading the letter, the gunpowder workshop has produced nearly 40,000 catties of gunpowder, and nearly 200,000 giant arrows and nearly 100,000 javelins. Li Jie believes that his striking ability is unmatched!
At the end of October, Li Jie ordered the revival to stay in Luoyang, and Liu Jun led nearly 40,000 people to support Weizhou. Liu Jun received the order to prepare immediately, originally he wanted his wife and daughter to stay in Luoyang, but as soon as the words came out, Lan'er cried.
"No, Xianggong goes there, Lan'er will go there." Holding Lan'er in his arms, Liu Jun said softly, "It's dangerous to go to Weizhou this time, you and your daughter are still safe in Luoyang!" ”
"No, it's because Weizhou is not safe that I'm going, even if I die, my family will die together!"
Bitter persuasion is ineffective, Liu Jun can only compromise!
On the outskirts of Luoyang, tens of thousands of people waited quietly for Liu Jun, Liu Jun rode to the front of the army, and shouted to the soldiers in front of him, "Today, we are going to go on an expedition, we will face far more enemies than us, and many people may never come back." But look at your lives now, look at your loved ones. Do you want them to go back to their old lives? ”
"I don't want to! Unwillingly! Tens of thousands of people shouted. Liu Jun pulled out the sword at his waist, "For our relatives, for the people behind us, we swear in the face of the weapons in our hands!" For the fathers and elders behind them! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
Tens of thousands of people shouted loudly, "For the fathers and elders behind you!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
The people who came to see him off also raised their fists and shouted, "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
The team began to act, no one spoke to the soldiers, everyone was marching silently, nearly a month of training, the soldiers were able to act according to the regulations, five days later, the army marched to Weizhou outside the city, placed his wife and daughter in the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Jun rode to the palace.
Tomorrow is November, time is running out, Liu Jun entered the mansion, Li Jie was discussing with Liu Qi, Wang Yue and others in front of the map.
Liu Jun entered the hall and bowed down, "Your Highness, the minister Liu Jun and his subordinates have been camped outside the city." ”
Li Jie looked up and smiled, "Everyone is waiting for you, don't be polite!" Then he pointed to the map, "Take a look, what do you think?" ”
Liu Jun walked quickly to the map and looked at it, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know how Wei Bo's troops are?" Li Jie pointed at Xue Liang, "You come!" "Xue Liang gave his hand" At present, Wei Bo has 160,000 troops in the three towns, and the rest of the local armed forces have 100,000 from above. ”
Liu Jun was taken aback: "So much! Li Jie smiled and said helplessly: "Yes! Han Wen's kid came so much at once, even he didn't expect it! Now everyone's proposition is that we take the initiative to attack and fight a decisive battle outside Bozhou City! What do you think! ”
Liu Jun nodded, "This is the best, but I don't know how our army will deal with it?" Qin Fang said, "Although there are nearly 300,000 people on the Wei Bo side, there are many orders, and those knots may not value those heroes, so it is best to break them all!" Everyone nodded yes.
Li Jie said, "Since this is the case, then we will immediately rearm and fight!" General Qin ordered! Qin Fang arched his hand! "Immediately ordered! Liu Tie, the former commander of the army, led 3,000 giant archers, 5,000 pikemen, and 4,000 sword and shield soldiers. The commander of the left army, Wei Chi Baolin, led 3,000 giant archers, 5,000 pikemen, and 4,000 sword and shield soldiers. Cheng Moyu's 7,000 firearms battalion was in the center. Xue Liang's former subordinate Chen Kang was the commander of the right army, with 3,000 giant archers, 5,000 pikemen, and 4,000 sword and shield soldiers. The commander of the rear army was temporarily led by Xue Liang, who also had 3,000 giant archers, 5,000 pikemen, and 4,000 sword and shield soldiers. Li Tang led 5,000 cavalry to maneuver on the battlefield. The remaining 40,000 were Chinese troops led by Qin Fang.
At the sound of an order, the army of 100,000 began to reorganize, and if this had been done before, the combat strength of the army would have dropped significantly. Because the ancient army mostly looked at the generals, once the generals were replaced, the soldiers were not familiar with them, and often the combat power came down.
But the Nationalist Army is different, and the Nationalist Army is trained strictly according to Li Jie's standards, and does not emphasize the individual bravery of the soldiers. Everyone just does what they have to do, just like a product on an assembly line, monotonous and unified but can quickly form combat effectiveness.
Five days, just five days. The 100,000 National Army has been able to skillfully cooperate, which was unthinkable before.
At the beginning of November, troops drove to the city of Bozhou one after another, and after receiving the report, Han Wen said to Han Jian, "Father, you should go out and have a look!" The Korean language deliberately bites the word "look" very hard. Han Jian was stunned for a moment and glanced at Han Wen. Han Wen smiled and looked down at his feet, Han Jian understood, and immediately said, "Follow me out of the city to work in the army!" ”
Han Jianshuai and the others went out of the city to work together, and just when they reached the vicinity of the city gate, a dog suddenly rushed out of the alley on the side of the street and rushed to Han Jian's horse, and the horse's front hooves were startled and rose into the air. When Han Jian saw it, he immediately let go of the reins and fell off the horse, and everyone behind him was shocked, "Handsome!" Handsome! Hurriedly dismounted and helped Han Jian up. But he saw that he was unconscious. Everyone hurriedly carried Han Jian back to the Shuai Mansion, and Han Wen hurriedly ordered someone to invite Lang Zhong.
After Lang Zhong finished the examination, he said, "Childe, Dashuai is temporarily unconscious, but his left foot is injured, and he can't go down to the ground for a month, so he needs to recuperate with peace of mind!" Han Wen arched his hand and said, "There is Mr. Lao!" After Lang Zhong prescribed the medicine, Han Wen immediately ordered someone to decoct the medicine, and gave Lang Zhong ten taels of silver and sent him away!
"Father! Father! Seeing that there was no one around, Han Wen shouted softly, and Han Jian opened his eyes, "Stinky boy, why do you want to hurt your father!" Han Wen stepped forward and said, "Father, you and I can't participate in this battle, only in this way can these 300,000 people be scattered." in order to be defeated by His Highness! And after this battle, only the Lu Long family will be left in the three towns of Heshuo, and it will be much easier for His Highness to take Lu Long again! Han Jian sighed: "I hope so!" ”
On the fifth day of the first day of November, the Chengde Henghai army gathered under the city of Bozhou, and all the units of the Tianxiong army also arrived, and the local heroic teams also arrived one after another. For a time, the city of Bozhou was in chaos, soldiers robbed the city from time to time, and the nearby villages were also unlucky, many peasants were killed, robbed and arrested, and the whole Bozhou city was in chaos.
Han Wen doesn't care about these, the people don't suffer a little, how can His Highness win the hearts of the people. He has been busy working the army for the past few days, sending wine, meat, and food to these troops. On this day, Han Wen came out of the Henghai Navy and was about to return to the city, when he suddenly saw a group of people dressed up in a team that was a little different!
Zhao Debiao took people to the city of Bozhou on the fifth day of the first month, and after this period of robbery, the team already had 7,000 people. However, Zhao Debiao's mentality has changed greatly, it turned out that he was just thinking about robbing the family to develop his own power, but the accumulated white bones in the well and back mountain in the family courtyard deeply pierced his heart.
Looking at the tens of thousands of grateful eyes, Zhao Debiao cried, but at the same time he was confused, what should I do! After settling the people, Zhao Debiao rushed to the city of Bozhou with 7,000 people. But I don't want to be seen by Hangul.
With a hint of doubt, Han Wen dismounted and walked into the camp, looking at the busy crowd, Han Wen finally understood that these men had a smile on their faces, and it was that kind of sincere smile. And although many men are dressed in tatters, their faces are better than those strong teams.
Zhao Yufan, who was patrolling the camp, stepped forward, "Who is here?" Han Wen arched his hand, "I am the son of Wei Bojiedu, and I am out of the city today!" Zhao Yufan hurriedly arched his hand, "I don't know that the son has arrived, he is guilty!" Guilty! Han Wen said: "No wonder! I wonder who you are leading? Zhao Yufan hurriedly ordered someone to invite Zhao Debiao, Zhao Debiao heard this, and was so frightened that he hurriedly went out of the tent to greet him, invited Han Wen into the tent, and ordered someone to serve tea. Zhao Debiao saluted again: "I don't know what the son has to teach!" ”
Han Wen smiled: "I look at the soldiers in your battalion, it seems that they are different!" Zhao Debiao said: "I don't know what the son said, which is different? "I see that the smiles of the soldiers in your battalion are very sincere, and their faces are better than those of the soldiers in other battalions!" There is a harmony in your camp that no one else has."
Zhao Debiao's face darkened, and he sat down on the chair dejectedly, "Don't hide it from my son, I used to take it by force and ruined a lot of people's lives, but a few days ago, I led people to forcibly occupy the manors of several families. The scene inside was horrible. ”
Tears flowed from Zhao Debiao's eyes: "O family! O gentleman whom we look up to in our hearts! Usually all of them are personable and dignified. What is feasible is what the pig and dog are not as good as. ”
