Chapter 1108 The End of the Hero I
Liu Yi arrived at the camp in the morning, and the generals discussed the military situation in the tent for two hours, during which the shadow people guarded the big tent left and right, no one can not pass the word can not approach, combined with the battle situation in Shuzhong, everyone conducted an overall analysis of the overall situation, until noon Zhao Yun proposed that the Son of Heaven have a meal, but Liu Yi did not eat in the tent but led everyone to inspect the whole camp and finally came to the location of the Xuanwu camp to dine with the soldiers, the attack on the Xiangyang Xuanwu Camp ironclad army played a huge role, Xu Huang threw it into the storming of the north gate of Xiangyang at a critical moment, and hundreds of ironclad soldiers were about to break into the door one after another, if it wasn't for Cao Cao's timely arrival, he would have taken it.
The Xuanwu battalion's ironclad army has a total of 1,000 people, each of whom makes a full-body armor of iron, which is made by Liu Yi and a group of craftsmen who draw on the strengths of Western ironclad to make turnips, as early as the Sizhou counterattack, it has shown great power, and now Xiangyang has given full play to their impact. These soldiers select the whole army of strong and strong martial arts people, you must know that a battle armor is not less than sixty pounds of weight on the whole body, without the help of war horse strength is slightly worse even walking will be extremely inconvenient, in the weekday drills they pay the most attention to the weight capacity, under the strict supervision of Zhou Cang, the endurance of the ironclad army has been greatly improved, half an hour is not a problem.
The ironclad army is a battalion of its own, the commander surnamed Huaming Xiangzi Bo'an, is the eldest son of the Han army iron cavalry battalion Xiliang battalion commander Pingbei general Hua Xiong, since he was a child, he practiced martial arts with his father, and then familiarized himself with the military book and war strategy in the Youzhou Martial Academy, after joining the army, he first experienced in the Tiger Guard, the battle of Sizhou faced the Han and Zhang coalition forces and repeatedly made war exploits, and accumulated merit and was promoted to captain in the Xuanwu battalion as the head of a battalion.
Liu Yi and his entourage were dining when the ironclad sergeant was eating, at this time the beloved armor was taken aside, and when marching, these armors had special mules and horses, and in wartime, Zhongxiang Xiang's requirement for the whole battalion was that the ironclad would not leave his side, even if he slept in a place within reach, in case of emergency, they should be dressed neatly in the shortest possible time! It is not difficult to change to ordinary soldiers, but it is a necessary training subject for the ironclad army, you must know that when the general puts on the armor, this armor also needs to be assisted by two or three people, and they all complete it independently.
"Hua Xiang, the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion Iron Armor Army, has seen the generals of the Son of Heaven and the King of Changshan." Seeing that the Son of Heaven came to eat with the soldiers, Hua Xiang immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hands to greet him, and the soldiers also stood up one after another to keep solemn, everyone's face showed excitement and excitement, after the general ascended the throne and became the emperor, they saw it for the first time, this honor is not trivial.
"Commander Hua doesn't have to be polite, this is everything in accordance with the law of the army in wartime, everyone continues to eat, Bo'an, today I and you are here to eat in your camp, and don't be restrained, I heard that the ironclad army in Xiangyang was performing well, and Bo'an is even more commanding, hehe, Ziwei is relieved, eighteen, what are you doing, don't prepare the meal quickly, everyone eats whatever I eat with you!" Liu Yi waved his hand from afar to stop everyone from saluting, and when he saw the mighty Hua Xiang in front of him, he also smiled and said, At this moment, Hua Xiong, the commander of the Xiliang Battalion, is uniting with the Agni Army in Jiangling to monitor Sun Ce's movements, even if the Son of Heaven comes to the front line in wartime, he can't do without a general!
"No, Your Majesty, please." The middle-aged soldier next to Hua Xiang was the legendary Zhang 18 in the Han army, and when he heard the Son of Heaven say Hua Xiang's meticulous response, Zhang 18 turned around and went to the camp, running extremely fast, obviously arranging meals for the Son of Heaven and everyone.
"Everyone continue to eat and drink, and when you are full and drunk, you will take this Xiangyang City with me! Well, Ji Ming really never disappointed me, and this hundreds of thousands of troops were difficult for him. Seeing that the soldiers were still standing still, Liu Yi smiled and said, while walking into the barracks, he was also examining the meals used by the soldiers, meat and vegetables with soup and vegetables, this food can be said to be quite rich in wartime, and the soldiers can only exert their full combat power when they are full of food and drink, and the logistics department of the Han army led by Tian Yu behind this is also very hard, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent.
As soon as Liu Yi spoke, the ironclad soldiers sat down, but they did not continue to eat, they were waiting for the Son of Heaven to sit down, how could they use it first if the Son of Heaven did not eat? Although Liu Yi's love for soldiers has been like a son for decades, this is also a way for soldiers to express their respect in their hearts! In the barracks, Liu Yi didn't know how many times he had eaten with ordinary officers and soldiers, although he was already a great man at this time, but his performance was the same as usual, Zhang 18 took a few cooks and brought out seven or eight large basins full of food, of course, the contents were the same as ordinary soldiers, but the amount was a lot more, His Majesty would never do anything special, but his food was not comparable to ordinary people.
Lang Sheng took the lead in sitting on the ground in front of those prepared meals and beckoned Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to sit beside him, and the rest of Xu Huang, Tai Shi Ci and other generals also sat down one by one, and everyone started without too many words, at this time all the ironclad sergeants continued their lunches, but their eyes were always around the Son of Heaven, the general was still as usual, and the ordinary war meal was very sweet, which was by no means Liu Yi's pretentiousness, and he had been like this for a long time.
"Okay, I'm afraid this dish of dried meat is worthy of the chef under Zicai, you and others can all sit down and eat together, you don't have to be restrained, the soldiers are fighting in front, you must ensure this meal, this is no different from the meritorious service on the battlefield. Fengxiao, today I can feast in the camp, but Cao Mengde may not have such a good appetite, I think when I first entered Luoyang for the second time, I will sit on the side of the road and drink and eat the world as today, but I am also very happy, twenty years are really passed in a blink of an eye! After tasting the food in the army, Liu Yi couldn't help but praise, and beckoned those who were waiting on the side to sit down and use it together, looking at Xiangyang City in the distance, but couldn't help but think of the reunion with Cao Cao on the side of the road in the wilderness.
"Hehe, what Your Majesty said is extremely true, there are Jingfang leading Liaodong White Tiger and other troops to cut off the official road of Yong'an, and Cao Jun is like a fish in his throat, how can he eat it? However, at that time, I am afraid that only Cao Mengde was fortunate to taste His Majesty's craftsmanship. In the barracks, Liu Yi's mood can greatly affect the minds of the soldiers, seeing that the Son of Heaven is very interested, Fengxiao also replied with a smile, Liu Yi's barbecue skills can be described as a must, and Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Xu Huang, Tai Shi Ci and others will never have any objections to this.
"What I said is that I was the host of the original Mengde in Luoyang City that day, but I was the only one who could do it myself, and I would go to visit the old man first when I was full of wine and food, if he was interested, he might as well come to the city to gather." Liu Cao has been fighting endlessly in the past few years, but the real meeting between the two can be traced back to the first battle of Yanzhou that year, and they have not seen each other for more than ten years.
The Son of Heaven came to Xiangyang City to share the war meal with a group of soldiers, the whole army from top to bottom was very interested, and the people had a deeper understanding of the battle situation in Shuzhong, Zhang Hehu's guards smuggled into Yinping and attacked Chengdu will definitely catch the Cao army off guard, and there are people in the city who are in charge of the soldiers and civilians because of Liu Zhang's news and people's hearts are unstable, with Zhang Hezhi's ability to Tiger Guard's courage This battle is promising, and taking Chengdu Yizhou will be easy for the Han army, Cao Cao will lose his last stable base, It seems that the Xiangyang City in front of him is its final destination.
At the same time, in the inner courtyard of a business in Chengdu City, there are more than ten people eating around the big table, with the use of Liu Yi and the people of Youzhou, coupled with the promotion of the Liu family's business name, at this time in the territory of the Han Dynasty, this scene of many people eating around the round table has been extremely common, more popular than the original one person and one table! However, the theme of today's dozen or so people is not a banquet, they are all Liu Yun's internal response in Chengdu City, and this time they came to discuss how to respond to Zhang He's army at the invitation of Blue Arrow.
This underground work comes from Liu Yi's knowledge from later generations, but it has the great credit of Guo Jia and Liu Yun to apply it flexibly to this life, whether it is the selection of personnel or the preparation of identity, it is impeccable, the longest person here has been lurking in Chengdu for five or six years, this is not only a big Han city in Chengdu, there is no shortage of such people, for their safety Liu Yun will not even give them any tasks in a few years, but when it comes to the critical moment, it is the time for them to play a role, even if there are all kinds of convenient conditionsThe strength of the Tiger Guard is certainly strong, but after all, the surprise attack came and did not carry siege equipment, and there was no possibility of breaking the city by attacking the front, and it was necessary to combine the inside and outside to break it in one fell swoop.
If it weren't for the secret words and gestures that the second shopkeeper had already explained, these more than ten people almost never knew each other, and they didn't know each other's identities at all, of course, there were exceptions, for example, two of them were partners in the silk business, and they had cooperated for several years and were also confidants of each other, but only when they met here today did they know that the other party was the same as themselves and was the internal cause hidden here for many years! In terms of the control of one-line contact, Liu Yun is extremely in place, which perfectly reflects Liu Yi's intentions, if it were not for the extremely heavy matter of negotiation with Sun Ce, he would be there at this time.
Here everyone took the opportunity of the banquet to discuss the matter of offering the city, more than two hundred miles north of the city, Zhang He's Tiger Guards were also advancing rapidly, and it was impossible to completely hide their whereabouts after Yinping, at this time time for Zhang He Wei Yan Time is everything!
