Not to mention all the chaos in the court, at the same time, thousands of miles away in Jiangxia County, a Han army has just left Exian County today, and is rushing to Yangzhou, which is adjacent to Jingzhou, and they want to go straight to Lujiang County, Yangzhou, and rush to help Zhishu County, Lujiang County, which is now urgently waiting for help.

This Han army of about 3,500 people, the iron armor worn by the soldiers was stained with blood, and they sang the folk songs of the Bajun barbarians during the march, relieving the tension of the possible death along the way.

If you are a discerning person, you will definitely understand that the soldiers and horses along the way are all elite soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, and it is very likely that they are just naturalized Han people. That's right, this army is not another army, it is the Ban Yu barbarian army of Fuquan that received a request for help from Lujiang County after occupying Exian County.

In the middle of the procession, like other Han troops who had just started, the two marching soldiers talked about the meat jokes that these men who were desperate outside would automatically talk nonsense.

"Big brother, that girl yesterday is really a knowledgeable person, and that thin skin and tender flesh don't look like a village woman at all."

"That's, I haven't heard that if it weren't for the woman's bad face, she would have been begged by Du Qushuai to go to bed, otherwise how could the two of us have the opportunity to try it?"

"Exactly! Precisely! I wish I could kill those damn thieves more, so I can have fun again. ”

"Don't worry, as long as you are under Taishou, there will always be a chance."

"That's right! At that time, you must ......" said this, the soldier who had just provoked the conversation immediately shut up, and when he saw the person coming from beside him, he first quickly clicked on the soldier next to him, signaling that there was a situation, and then he shouted loudly: "I have seen the general." ”

With his shout, the soldiers next to him hurriedly turned their heads to look, and after seeing Fuquan slowly passing by on horseback beside him, they also shouted loudly, "I've seen the general." ”

Both of them were stubborn and stubborn, holding swords, so naturally they couldn't salute, Fu Quan glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and looked at them with hair, and then he increased his horsewhip and walked forward. Of course, Fu Quan didn't accuse them of having no military discipline, and they didn't even salute when they saw their commanders, after all, it was a war now, and those so-called military discipline and customs could not care about anything, if they cared, did they want Fu Quan to let all the soldiers under his command fight with the enemy with their bare hands without armor and weapons?

In fact, not only these two people, but even the entire Han army is now marching so "casually", the war has been fought for many days, and it is not possible to enforce the prohibition of military discipline, so like this kind of direct chatter of the soldiers who do not hinder the actions of the army, Fu Quan also ordered the generals under his command to turn a blind eye. He understands the mood of these soldiers, after all, they also have today and tomorrow, with two siege battles and several small-scale encounters, if the army is governed by strict military law, it will not cause a mutiny in this group of Yizhou guest troops who have traveled thousands of miles to fight.

There is nothing impossible about this, unless it is the strict training of the Celestial Empire in the later generations, the red warriors who have been brainwashed countless times, have an extremely strong spiritual will and are almost difficult to mutiny. Otherwise, no matter how elite the troops are, without faith and will, relying solely on the prestige of the commander, in this era of cold weapons where flesh and flesh fight each other, there will be soldiers who cannot withstand the pressure, give birth to chaos, and finally form a mutiny that spreads throughout the whole army.

And Fu Quan didn't even care that these two barbarian soldiers still called the military marquis Du Kang who commanded them "Du Qu Shuai", the reason why he did this to the two was because with their shouting, not only the other soldiers around the two suddenly quieted down and didn't dare to speak, but even the military marquis Du Kang who was marching in front of them also ran over, and the generals of the other Han army departments also heard these two shouts, and they all had the possibility of approaching Fu Quan's side.

This made Fuquan, who wanted to be quiet and think about how to enter the Lujiang River this time, couldn't do what he originally planned to do, so Fuquan would have that meaningful glimpse.

It's just that the matter has come to this, and Fu Quan can only shelve his original plan and calmly accept the salute sent by Du Kang.

"I've seen the prince." Du Kang said in a somewhat fast tone, I don't know if he ran or was excited, wasn't he just giving him a concubine who was hunted by the rebel Qu Shuai who had been hunted by himself as a concubine, was he so excited?

"Hmm!" Fu Quan responded, and no longer thought about the reason for the difference in Du Kang's tone, and when he remembered something, he asked, "How many soldiers are left in the army?" What is the morale like today? ”

The previous question is actually in Fu Quan's mind, after all, when he went out on the expedition, the number of soldiers in each department, and the accompanying officers had records, and the reason why Fu Quan asked this question was just to test the ability of this Kang Zhi army, if he didn't even know how many soldiers he commanded, he could know how many wine bags and rice bags the general was.

Of course, Fu Quan's main concern is the latter problem, his army is a guest army, and after a few wars, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they will be consumed from the heat and sharpness of the original expedition, so this requires the commander and generals to do everything they can to improve morale.

After hearing this, Du Kang immediately replied: "Back to the prince, there are still 456 people in the headquarters before breaking the county, and after the city is broken, 31 soldiers were lost and 13 people were wounded, and they are all resting in Qichun...... Only the morale is a little inferior, there were prostitutes in the camp before, and it can be relieved, but now the camp is going to Yangzhou, I am afraid that there will be another incident......"

"Yes!" Fu Quan bowed his head, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction with this Du Kang, and secretly said that the barbarians who were still with him last year were so loyal to the Han army now, which shows that the charm of power is really huge.

If you don't do it, it also makes Fuquan worried, after all, it's not good to always rely on women to adjust morale, if you really keep doing this, it's not about mediating morale, it's about degrading morale. But it is clear from the Dukang army that it is still useful to use women to mediate morale, which is also very incomprehensible.

Those women were not robbed women of good families, but relatives and daughters of rebel generals, after all, they captured the county seat of Exian and won the battle, and Fuquan also had to rest and recuperate, so they acquiesced to this matter. The main reason is that the tunnels have been digging in the past few days, and the military spirit is a little unstable, plus the Han army has a tradition of camp prostitutes since ancient times, men, especially those who have been away from home for a long time, in the case of few entertainment activities in ancient times, only women can mediate.

In the weekday war, Fu Quan didn't like women in the army, but this time it was different, this was the first time he led his troops to fight in his hometown. For example, in Youzhou and Yizhou, because the local soldiers are all locals and have the responsibility of defending the countryside, the morale is good, but this time let these thousands of Yizhou soldiers come to Jingzhou to support, and so long has passed, otherwise, it is really easy to make trouble.

Even Fuquan himself did not touch a woman for many days, and after his subordinates offered the rebel Qu Shuai's concubine and let her sleep several times, he rewarded this woman to the loyal Du Kang in front of him.

The reason why this is the case can only be said that the concubine is just a good look, and for Fuquan, which is also a big man with countless beauties, it can only be a temporary concoction, and it is obviously not worthy of him to include it in the house. Therefore, in order to reward the loyalty of his subordinates, Fuquan rewarded her to Du Kang, because when this guy attacked the county seat of Exian County, he beheaded more than 20 heads, second only to Guan Yu and Huang Zhong.
